care win
A win is a win in our book, and we don't care how we do it.
closer feeling full games good plate start
It is frustrating, because I've been feeling good at the plate and it's getting closer to the start of the season. We only have 12 games left. It's frustrating, but you can't do anything about it but just try to get back to full strength.
coming easy happen happened
It ain't easy coming off the bench. That's not going to happen every day (coming off the bench) what happened out there today.
advantage cheer coming easy happen happened opportunity
It ain't easy coming off the bench. That is not going to happen every day, what happened out there today. When you're on the bench, you just cheer for your teammates. When you do get an opportunity to go out there, you've got to take advantage of it.

He hit a bullet and I was able to make the play on a short hop. A few inches over and it would have been past me.

I hope so. I'd like to think that we are maturing a little bit and able to get some things done that we couldn't before.

It was huge. By the way we celebrated on the field, it was about like we won the World Series.

He threw every pitch that he wanted for strikes. He threw it where he wanted, any count he wanted. As you could tell by some of their swings, he was on today.
excited ready spring training
I'm excited to get it done. Now we can just concentrate on spring training and getting better and getting ready for the season.
bit came games hit home injury missed runs six spring three time
I mean, I only missed six games, that's nothing. Six games is not a substantial time at all. And then when I came back, I hit three home runs in three days, so I don't think anything has to do with the injury or the little bit of a setback in Spring Training.
bunch finish next people plans strong team thinking
You want to finish strong for a whole bunch of different reasons, as a team and individually. You never know what people are thinking or what their plans are for next year.
