What did I do to be a villain? ... Well, I mean you can't look at it that way. I didn't initiate it. It's a situation where I showed restraint, and I moved on from there.
drive forget guy next runner scoring takes whatever year
We're stressing more this year to forget about numbers, just go out and do whatever it takes to win. If you have to get a guy over, get him over. Whatever you can do to get the runner into scoring position, then let the next guy drive him in.
