care hand
If my hand wasn't a little tired, I wouldn't care how I was hitting, I'd be in there.
base games larry run score until
I had no idea until Larry Andersen told me the other day. I don't even know when it started. I do know the first 10-12 games I only was getting one hit, but it was in big situations. I try to get on base and score a run at least once a game. If I do that, I feel like I've done my job.
came chance games
I had a chance to do it and I came up short. I still have another chance. I have a lot of games left.
allowing couple free good hear opposite perspective swing
He put a couple of things into perspective, allowing me to free my swing up a little more, ... I think it's always good to hear from the opposite end of the spectrum.
runs score win
If I do what I can do to score runs and win the game, ... I'm satisfied.
brought chance definitely kept tie
If I don't get that hit, we don't have any chance to win. It kept the streak. It was definitely on my mind, but at that point, it brought J-Mike up with a chance to tie the game.
ball thrown
If he had thrown a ball and I couldn't get to it, I wouldn't have swung. I wasn't going to give the at-bat away.
base fashion gotta nice score
I can't tell you (why now), but they're fun. You gotta get on base and score runs, and it's nice to be doing it in the fashion I'm doing it in. The W's matter.
against aggressive certain hitter pitchers pitches strike throw trying work
He's trying to pitch. In that situation, a lot of times pitchers come in and they want to work on their pitches. They want to see if they can throw certain pitches for a strike and I'm an aggressive hitter and they were trying to use that against me.
asked chase great guys help players playing sure team tips
I could play there, but it would be different because I've been playing shortstop for so long. I'm sure Chase could give me some tips and help me out. There are so many great players who could be a part of this team that guys may be asked to play out of position.
baseball holland human interact kids regular walk
I couldn't walk around Holland in those. But that's the thing. You get to interact with these kids at their place as a human being, not just as a baseball player. They get to see us in regular clothes, and we get to play around and be funny.
fashion rather winning
I'd rather do it in a winning fashion.
knew large time
I appreciated it from the time I knew about it. That's a large number.
either fact final five guess happen knew six waiting
I knew that it was the final at-bat, I guess you could say. It was either going to happen or it wasn't. I've been waiting five or six months, there was really no rush. I was all right with that and the fact that if that would happen, I would have started a new one.
