ball gets guy high last run second threw
Last night, I threw that ball high and it could have been big, it could have been a run because the guy gets to second base,
chewed deserve goes runner safe second taken tunnel work
If the guy's safe there and the runner goes to second base, I deserve to be taken out to the tunnel and chewed out. But it did work out for us.
error room
Everything had to be done perfectly. There is no room for any error at all. Otherwise, it's not going to happen.
against base bit chances face hits pitchers spot string taking toughest worth
Billy's tough, obviously. He's one of the toughest pitchers you're going to face in the league. If there's a spot where you want to take a chance, you want to do that on the base paths. Chances are you're not going to string two base hits against him, so it's worth taking a little bit of a risk.
finish great
I was thrilled, it was a great way to finish it.
fit game hit mentally might prepare time watch
You just kind of watch the game and see where you might fit in and try to mentally prepare yourself for when the time comes up. When I hit it, I wasn't real sure. I didn't get a whole lot of that ball, but it was just enough.

Last year there was never really a spot where somebody had to come in and fill in ... for an extended period. You usually have that at some point. I don't know if I would have gotten a chance, but if you keep playing, at some point you get a chance to go out on a more regular basis and you have to be ready.
(Monday night) was like everything was out of reach.
clear control felt great mind slow
I felt great up there today. I was able to slow everything down. I was under control at the plate. Everything just was real clear in my mind going up there.

We've had to battle back from those kind of nights a lot this year.
last
It's not going to last too much longer.

He left it up and out over the plate. I got lucky there. I got behind in the count and had a pitch earlier in the at-bat and missed it.

I'm not that attached to it, I guess.
