base bat behind drive everybody fortunate guys hitting pitches position runners scoring wants
Everybody wants the bat in their hands, and I was fortunate to come up with guys on base and to be in a position to see a lot of pitches with the guys hitting behind me. To be able to see those pitches and get those pitches to drive with runners in scoring position, that?s big.
feeling guy helpless injuries minor sitting somebody superstar talent team wants
I want to be out there and be involved. You get that helpless feeling when you're sitting on the bench. I don't want to be that guy. I'll take a guy on my team that doesn't have as much talent but wants to play through minor injuries than somebody who has superstar talent but is soft.
bat clubhouse everybody fortunate game guys situation wants
Everybody in this clubhouse wants to be in that situation with the game on the line, with the bat in their hands. I was fortunate to come up with guys on base.
floyd hitter job pick struggle wants
Every hitter struggles. If Delgado or Floyd struggle, it's my job or someone else's to pick them up. If I'm struggling, someone will pick me up. No one wants to struggle, but it is part of the game.

Not yet. But bring it on. He's probably playing for quarters. If he wants to play a real game, he can come see me.

It was very dry and very hot (this summer). Last year, it was rainy and cold, and who wants to swim in the cold weather?

I'm just trying to keep up with him. He's the one setting the pace.

It?s not as complicated procedure to take them down.

It's not a fun experience. Hopefully, it doesn't happen again.
good harder hit hope pitch tried
It was just a good pitch that I tried to do too much with and popped up. I would hope that more times than not, I would hit that pitch a lot harder than I did tonight.
