city easy great history people stock understand
I can understand that. It's a what-have-you-done-for-me-lately business, obviously, and we're an easy target, I guess. You can't put too much stock into it, I think. People who are here and in the city know about the great history here. But the people here are frustrated, too, and we understand that.
definitely help obviously premium
He's left-handed, which obviously comes at a premium in the big leagues. That's definitely going to help to our advantage.
batting practice
I'm not a batting practice home-run hitter. I think I'm done with it.
easier game win
You want to win so badly, but this isn't a game where you can try harder. You have to try easier, and that's easier said than done.
bar high improving last obviously offensive realize season stand
You want to keep improving every year, and I've obviously set a very high bar for myself after two years. At some point, though, that's going to stop. You're not just going to keep getting better and better forever. That season I had last year, I look back on it and see the numbers, and I do realize how they stand out in most offensive categories.
bat behind eighth game innings key knowing lead night ninth playing tough
The key to the whole game was getting a lead early. We've been playing from behind in a lot of games. It's tough when you go into the seventh, eighth and ninth innings every night knowing that every at bat is do-or-die.
It's a long hot, but it's all we've got right now.
