feeling good hard hit jumping punishment quickly trying
I wanted to get away from there as quickly as possible. If that's the punishment for a game-winning hit, I'll take it. It's a good feeling when everybody's jumping down trying to hit you as hard as they can.
bag leave runner seen
In hindsight, having seen the replays, the runner did not leave the bag too soon.
aggressive attitude ball balls center free goes reckless rein tries
In center field, you have free rein out there -- you have priority. He has that no-fear attitude. The ball goes up, and he's gone, going after balls with reckless abandon. He's aggressive and tries to get anything he can.
bat few kindness last numbers second swung
I'm not doing anything different. You kind of end up where you end up, and the last few years my numbers are pretty much the same. I've always swung the bat better in the second half.

Even more so -- and it's genuine. He's always laughing, telling stories. He's pretty funny.
fun people spend time until
You have an idea of what people are like, but until you spend some time around them it's different -- that's been the fun part.
awesome closer good great guy hit home hoping location mistake plate run
This guy is an awesome closer with a good fastball, good location and a great changeup, ... I was just hoping he'd make a mistake up and over the plate that I could hit hard. When I hit it, I was just hoping it would get up over (Giles') head. A home run would have been a bonus.

After my senior year in high school, I was playing in some summer league and a scout said, 'If you keep after this, you might be able to make some money doing this.' So I knew I'd choose baseball.

It was a little nerve-racking. I'm more happy about it now that we got through it.
