anybody expected guys pennant progress team
We had a real young team and the young guys made a lot of progress. I don't anybody expected us to be a pennant winner, but I think we got better as an organization this year.
everybody expected focus gotten hit home job likes runs single tears
This is a first for me. I never expected to hit 10 home runs in a year. Two tears I ago I would have never thought I would have gotten that many at-bats. All I want to do is contribute. A single or a home run - everybody likes to hit. But I know in the end my job is to focus on defense.

We weren't going to give them anything to pull, and they both put good swings on the ball and hit opposite-field home runs,

behind coming needed
We really needed that win, especially coming from behind like that.
benefit felt instant kept liked replay run score third
That's tough. We would've liked to have kept the score where it was. Unfortunately, we don't have the benefit of instant replay while we're out there on the field. I felt like we made the third out before the run was recorded, but, obviously, Mr. Runge didn't feel that way.
