couple plays shoulders tough
This one is on my shoulders today. A couple of them were tough plays, but these are the big leagues. Tough plays have to be made.
anybody ask bounce couple fall games lose means mode satisfied seem teams winning
Just because we started 8-2, that means nothing come September. But I think if you ask anybody in here, we're pretty satisfied with how the first 10 games have gone. We've got to keep at it. The winning teams seem to never fall into that mode where you lose a couple in a row. They find a way to bounce back and that's what they need to do.
couple offensive past
This is like an offensive dream, being a part of this lineup the past couple of days.
answer couple drop followed growing last mets minor seems ways
It was a springboard. They just find ways to answer back and the way to do it big. I've kind of followed the Mets growing up and the last couple years in the minor leagues. He seems to always be the one to drop the hammer. He comes up big in the clutch. That's what makes him great.
balls confidence confident couple early errors felt half last second start thrown work
It's a confidence thing. The second half of last year, I felt more confident and I feel more comfortable this spring. That's the big thing for me. I can work on drills and footwork all day, but if I don't feel comfortable, it's not going to matter. As a young player, especially in New York, you make a couple of errors early and you start pressing a little bit. I've got to relax. I've thrown so many balls over to first base, I can probably do it blindfolded.

The play I botched in the ninth has to be made. It was a battle and I let my teammates down.

I do like to wear the same hat on game days, but I consider that more of a routine thing than a superstition.
