consistent second settling starting teams third
I'm getting consistent at the plate. I'm starting to see teams for the second and third times. I'm settling in. I think it's working.
actual ready teams themselves traveling
This way, we're getting an actual day off. It's a long season. Some teams kill themselves traveling on the off day. It'll be a long day (Sunday), but we should be ready to go (today).

The thing about a team like the Royals is that eventually they have to win,
city coming hope kansas teams
Teams like Kansas City coming in here are scary, ... Eventually, they have to win. You just hope it's not you.
catch good six teams time tough
It's going to be a tough month, a tough first six weeks. But you've got to play these teams sometimes, and now is a good time to see where we're at. You can always catch fire.
bad certainly guys losing pitcher stop team type
It's unbelievable. He's been great. Every team has one or two guys who can stop those three- or four-game losing streaks. He's certainly that type of pitcher who can just stop a bad time.
confidence decent games start supposed team winning
For me, it's all about the first 81 games. It's by then that you know what the team has for the most part. If you get to 81 games with a decent record, the confidence grows. You start winning games you're not supposed to win.
hit miss pitchers spot sure team three threw weekend
They threw three pitchers at us this weekend who didn't miss a spot in three days. If they did, we fouled it back. When a team collectively doesn't hit like this, you can be pretty sure it's the pitching.
shown team
We think we're a better team than we've shown this month.
award win
It's not an award you want to win more than once.

Everyone knows he'll have his 200 hits by the end of September, That's possible, too.
happen stay terms
It's not a milestone. When you first get to the big leagues, you don't think in terms of getting 1,000 hits. It's just something that can happen when you stay around awhile.
bad perfect swing time
If not now, then when? The time is perfect for a change, I think. I know I can do better than I've been doing. Right now my swing is in a bad place.
except hurt
I haven't done anything to hurt it, except play 150 games. I'll be back at first.
