balls eat felt hard hit hop last maintain moves playing start third year
I'm going to make errors. That comes with the territory. I felt there were times last year when I was playing not to make mistakes, not playing aggressive. At third base, you have to play aggressive. You're going to make errors. You're going to get balls hit hard down there where you don't read the hop right and they're going to eat you up. But you have to maintain your aggressiveness; you can't start back-pedaling. Most of your moves have to be going in.

Cliff had a good year last year, and this is a free agent year. You won't hear that from him, though. He is so team-oriented.

As a hitter, you hate to see that electric slide move. He brings a lot of enthusiasm and a lot of energy.
good hits late runs scoring
As long as we get these big two-out hits and keep scoring runs late like this, we're going to be in good shape.

That's what scared me. I could feel it, but it's not hampering me at all.
