best best-friends friend great guess lose miss tough
David's my best friend on the team, a great teammate, a great player. Everyone's going to miss him. I guess you can never have too much pitching, but it's tough to lose David.
anytime ball drive games good hard job lack looking shows swinging
The way the first 10 games have gone, I've done a pretty good job of swinging at good pitches. That shows in the lack of strikeouts. Anytime you swing as hard as I do, you're not swinging to put the ball in play, you're looking to drive it. Anytime you do that, you're going to swing and miss. But if I swing at better pitches, my whole game will be better.

If he hits his spot he probably gets me out. You can't expand the zone against him. He's one of the best in the game. I was lucky enough to get a pitch over the plate.

You can put up great numbers, and everybody wants to do that. But if you don't win, it's an empty feeling for yourself and your fans.

baseball games levels
Baseball can be a game of peaks and valleys. Mentally, I want to stay away from the ups and downs and just maintain a level approach.

I love first base. I want to get better.
college years league
I went to college for a reason, and that was to skip the minor leagues. I spent a year in the minors and got my at-bats in, and then I felt like I was ready for the big leagues.
