baseman gold great guys second win
We've got a first baseman, shortstop and second baseman that I think should win a Gold Glove. Those guys are great in the infield.
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.
guys means pitches runs shooting taking
I went around thanking my teammates, ... If those guys aren't taking pitches so I can run, I wouldn't get the opportunities. More importantly, I'm shooting for 100 runs (he has 96), because that means I'm getting on base.

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

chip pressure putting runners running
We chip away and chip away. That's just the way we play. We keep putting runners on and keep putting pressure on people.
angel baseball continuing good happened last swings worry
You don't worry about what happened last year, ... We just think about continuing to play Angel baseball -- put good swings on the ball and play good defense. To me, that's why we're successful.
crazy happening playing
There's some crazy things happening right now, but we're all right. You just keep playing through.
bunt coming touch
The touch is coming back, which is good. I'm just getting a feel for it. I'm not going to go up there and think bunt every at-bat, but more situational.
