thinking people use
People think I must have all these superstitions, but I don't. I use my batting gloves 'til they wear out. I broke four or five bats during the streak, and I didn't cry over any of them.
thinking able energy
Even when I'm nervous, I think I'm able to turn that nervous energy into strength.
thinking defense passive
Passiveness affects everything. It affects you on the bases and on defense. It affects your thinking. I can't be passive.
caught couple helps hotel maybe streak
I don't think about the streak too much, maybe a couple of times in the hotel room. I told myself to not get caught up in it. I have to go out and do it. It helps me not think about it.

I?d like to start another streak. But we need to start a winning streak first. That is most important.
