A different move, one I hadn't seen before. It caught me off guard.

That's my job. That's why I was hired to come here, to drive in runs. I enjoy those situations. The guys did a good job to get on.

The thing about a team like the Royals is that eventually they have to win,

Teams like Kansas City coming in here are scary, ... Eventually, they have to win. You just hope it's not you.
Zero, he slid, Zero, he used two hands!
battle break coming hand looking pattern spring training
This is a pattern we need to break out of, and right now. Coming out of spring training we weren't looking at having a 7-13 kind of April. But it's the hand we've been dealt. We've got to battle out of it.

base earlier funny joking later second single
It's funny because earlier in the game, I'd had a single with Raul (Ibanez) on second base and he didn't score, ... We were joking on the bench. Reeder said he would have scored on that one. And then later he's on second and he doesn't score. It's just one of those things. We didn't think any more about it.
bring dugout half outer pitches start
There wasn't a lot to hit. He'd start his pitches in our dugout and bring them back on the outer half of the plate. It was just one of those nights.
