bats good hit spring year
I don't feel like I'm on fire, but I'm getting my hits. I still have those at bats when I feel like I'm back in spring training. I'm not complaining, don't get me wrong. If I feel like this all year and hit good that's fine.
bottom bunch couple driven good hit means time weeks
Most of the time when you have those 10-run, 12-run games, it means the bottom of your lineup has hit well and driven in a bunch of runs. We've really been getting contributions all up and down the lineup. It's been a good couple of weeks for us.

That's really as good as I can hit that pitch, and the guy's standing on top of first base,
chances exactly giving guys hits jam kept shot sort themselves
It's was their night. They kept giving themselves chances to score, but a lot of hits were not exactly tattooed. There were seeing-eye grounders and a jam shot and that sort of thing, but give those guys a lot of credit.

call caught died fair guy hit home knew last minute reached thinking time watched wondering
I knew I hit it good, but I wasn't thinking home run. The whole time I was wondering if it was going to be fair or foul. I kind of watched and at the last minute it straightened out and died in the corner. The guy reached his glove out and caught it, and I knew they were going to call it at least a double.
