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.
forward giving looking nice
It would be a nice little accomplishment. I'm looking forward to the opportunity, but it's not one of those things you can force. It's not like they are just giving it to you.
excited forward good heard looking manager offense pirates run spring
No offense to Lloyd (former Pirates manager Lloyd McClendon) and his staff, but I'm looking forward to going to spring training. And there's going to be a different look, a different feel, a different way things are run and I've heard nothing but good things. So I'm just excited about the way we're going to go about things.
believe coming forward looking middle row spring stands
It's huge. Coming right out of spring training, where you get no breather, and then, boom, 17 in a row ... it's tough. In the middle of the season, it's kind of normal. At the beginning, it kind of stands out. Believe me, we're looking forward to this day.
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.
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.
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.
