dumb runs scoring stuck
We haven't been scoring a lot of runs lately. I was stuck in no-man's land. You look back on it, and it's a dumb decision, but I play hard. I play aggressive.
hit home row runs seen three voice
I've seen friends go through it. Sammy Sosa hit 60 home runs three years in a row and he went into a little slump. They have a right to voice their opinion. It's not going to make me play any better, it's not going to make me play any worse.
against batting best hit home hopefully last runs time year
I can do it. Last year probably wasn't the best batting average, but I've hit the most home runs I've hit against lefties last year and the most RBIs. Now it's time to hopefully put it together.
blocking came draw passionate thick thin
Where I came from, they were passionate about baseball. We probably didn't draw as many (fans), but through thick and thin it was like 'Let's go. We can do it. We can do it. We know you can do it.' This is something I have to get used to and I'm blocking it out as much as I can. It is what it is.
hard matt talked
Yes, I was surprised. Stunned. I never thought something like this would come up with Matt. I don't know all the details, but he's a hard worker. Everything he's gotten, he's earned. I actually talked to Matt today, but we didn't talk about this. I didn't say anything about it.
beat blow dealt guys stop teams trying
Other teams aren't going to stop trying to beat us because these guys aren't playing. We got to try to soften some of the blow we have been dealt right now.
kidding
I thought he was kidding when he told me he was going to do it. It was surprising.
bounce hang team
That's the team I remember. You bounce back like that and don't hang your head.
boo stated
I wasn't malicious. I just stated my opinion. So, if they boo even more, then that's what they do. It's not a big deal. I just made a statement.
baseball learn whatever
You learn that that's just kind of the way it is. That's part of baseball. It's a part of any sport, actually. You just have to go out and play and whatever happens, happens.
ball couple dirt miss
Yeah, the whole at-bat I wanted him to get the ball up. He got a couple down in the dirt and I went after them. Then he got one up and I didn't miss it.
concerned
You know what, I don't even concentrate on it. We won. That's all I'm concerned about.
matter
It's not about me, it's about the team. As long as we are winning, it doesn't matter what I do.
error margin nice pitchers work
It was nice for our pitchers to be able to breathe, and give them more margin of error to work with.
