defense game good hitting year
It's really the first game all year where we had our pitching, our hitting and our defense all working at the same time. That's a good sign.
batting practice
I'm not a batting practice home-run hitter. I think I'm done with it.
anyone dealt forget game mind totally year
It's not as distracting as I thought it would be, ... It's in the back of your mind. For anyone to totally forget about that is not human. At the same time, I've dealt with a lot of distractions all year with the All-Star game and the 'sophomore slump.'
buy falling good lottery start ticket time turn
It's not a good time to buy a lottery ticket if you're a Pirate. But that's baseball. Hopefully, that will turn around and it will start falling our way.
nature neat nice people players quick step sudden team tournament win
The neat thing about this tournament is the nature of it, and how quick it is. A nice win here, you step it up in one game, and all of a sudden people take note, not just of the team but the players on it.
exciting talking
It's an exciting time, ... You're talking about life-changing money.
carrying definitely drive hitter job runs score
It's definitely not just me carrying the team, ... As a middle-of-the-order hitter my job is to drive in runs and score runs.
finally fun game nice
It was nice to finally have a game in which we could have some fun and relax. We haven't had a game like this all season.
against anytime finish guy means
Anytime you're going up against a guy like that you know you're not going to get much to hit, ... To get that, and to finish strong, means the world to me.
definitely finally gets ready talking
We've been talking about it for a while. Now we're just ready to get out there and get going. You have that anticipation, it finally gets here and you definitely get excited.
blast challenged early followed great paul runs start
We've been challenged many times this season, so for us to get those runs early and Paul having an unbelievable start was big for us, ... It was a bleeder and a blast followed by some great pitching.
biggest hitting instead key kinda nice playing relax runs three
We had pitching, hitting and defense. It was nice to get all three working together. The biggest key was getting the three runs early. That let us kinda relax a little bit, instead of playing from behind.
forward games innings looking nine playing spring
You go from spring training, where you're (in the lineup) here and there and you can't really simulate playing nine innings continually, to having to play 17 games in a row. I think everyone is looking forward to this day off.
cylinders hope jobs
There's not much we can do about that. As hitters, you just do your jobs and hope we can get all cylinders going at some point.
