base game hit win
My first base hit to win a game in the big leagues.
feet move straight throw
Sometimes when my feet are slow, my throw (to first base) isn't good. But when I move my feet, the throw is straight every time.
defense great hopefully
I feel more comfortable with my defense and, with my offense, I think I can do the job. If I can keep working like I have hopefully it's going to be a great year.
forget hard work
I've got to forget about (Wednesday), work hard and do my job.
came helped ready saw
That helped me a lot. When I came here I was ready to play because I saw a lot of pitching.
stay tried
I tried to make the play too fast. That's what I have to learn. Stay aggressive, but try to do the routine. Don't try to do too much.
offense
I'm working hard. Everything with my offense is going right, right now.
