ball drive hit line swing type
With my type of swing I just try to drive the ball and sometimes I may hit a line drive a little too high. That at-bat, I just did.
money
Those Molina brothers, they can throw. A lot of times when someone runs, they're right on the money and they never miss.
eat hour lose maybe sleep worth
You lose maybe an hour sleep doing it, ... It's tough, but it's worth it. I get to eat mom's cooking.
drives good root scoreboard stuff
The stuff drives you crazy, if you let it. That's why you can't scoreboard watch. It doesn't do any good 'cause you don't know who to root for anyway.
bases guys hit hitting ninth putting runs stolen stretch top
I hit ninth the first month, and to be in the top 10 in runs scored, that's putting in a lot of work. There was a stretch where I went 1 for 30 and I was hitting ninth. That's why stolen bases are not even important. It's getting over so guys can get you in.

I'm going to try and just be aggressive no matter what the situation is,
job
That's my job, to try and get on base. I'm not used to doing things like that.

It will take only one game for him to catch me.
base create extra game stealing stolen taking third
That's our game and that's my job, to create havoc. If the stolen base is there, I'll take it, but it's not just stealing bases; it's going first to third and taking the extra base. We have to keep up the pressure.
couple everybody family watch
Everybody's here, ... And then I have family from Georgia, so they come down to see everybody and watch a couple of games.
balls blocking charge means pick pitchers throwing wary
They have to really be on their toes. The outfielders have to charge balls, the catcher's got to be wary of blocking balls, pitchers have to pick at the corners, and when they pick, that means throwing more pitches.

It's a tough play. Two strikes, I'm playing back and the guy's going on contact.

There's some crazy things happening right now, but we're all right. You just keep playing through.
