award win
It's not an award you want to win more than once.
award nice stay win
It would be nice to win it; it would say I was able to stay on the field, ... But it's not an award you want to win more than once.
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.
against games hit hopefully pitchers tough toughest win
We do have a tough division. We have to play 54 games against the toughest pitchers in the league. Hopefully we can hit and pitch on the same day and win games.
meat order winning
The meat of our order still hasn't done anything and we're still winning games.
clicking floating games meat order soon start winning
The meat of our order hasn't really done anything. We're still winning games and floating around .500, so that's good. As soon as we start clicking and doing some things that we can do, we'll start winning more consistently.

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.

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.

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.
blaming facing fact game good saw struggling stuck sure
We've been struggling with our at-bats. But we've stuck with our game plan. We've been blaming (the slump) on the fact that we've been facing good pitchers. And we have. We saw another one tonight. And it sure is good to see Ichiro going again.

We've been struggling to get hits. But we've tried to stick with our game plan. We've been putting our struggle down to the fact we've run into good pitching.

We expected to be a little better. We just ran into some serious pitching.
