He tried talking to me, but I knew the guy had the ball. So I pretty much knew.
We were just talking about how we're not sure we ever scored 11, 12 runs last season.
Well, what do you want me to do about it?
I'm worried about our pitchers. Hopefully, they don't overdo it. But when you put on your country's jersey, a lot of things kind of go out the window. You want to do your best.
I just hope they don't try to throw like it's the seventh game of the World Series and overdo it.
It was one of those nights I was seeing the ball well. Maybe it had something to do with Jacque moving behind me. I don't know, but it was a night I felt pretty good at the plate.
It was one of those nights I was seeing it well, ... Maybe it had something to do with Jacque moving behind me. I had a couple of good at-bats. But tonight it felt good, felt comfortable at the plate.
It was one of those nights I was seeing it well,
It was the middle of the season and there were a lot of people there. I went up there and walked on four pitches my first at-bat and people started booing because they wanted to see me swing. It doesn't seem like you've quite made it, though, when you're playing in a small town like that. It was fun to get out and play, though.
It's just one spot. We'll try to do something different and score a couple more runs, but I'll have the same approach that I always have.
It's kind of a tough deal, because I'd like more time to work with each pitcher. It is what it is. I'm sure they will both be ready, but as to how much I'll know of them, we'll just have to wait until we get to that point, I guess.
Stuff-wise, he's been better. But he threw the changeup pretty well tonight.
You start feeling it's late, it's been a long year, ... You just try to battle through it. You have to fight through that and catch another second wind.
You can't put up numbers if you're on the DL, ... The main thing this year was just staying healthy, and I've done a pretty good job of doing that so far.
