issues resolved utility
The utility issues have all been resolved now.
ball good last location mixing past pitching throw tried wants year
Last year he tried to throw the ball past hitters, where this year he's pitching past hitters. He's mixing up his pitches, has good location and he has a good idea before each pitch of what he wants to do.
chance coming fight giving good job shutting
He did a good job of coming in and shutting us down and giving them a chance to fight back.
ball base biggest concerned drives gets good happy hit position puts ready run swinging
He just gets on base and he's a good hitter. He drives the ball and gets doubles. That puts us in better position so we don't have to do as much, hit and run or bunt. The biggest thing I was concerned with is they were ready to go today. I was happy to see us swinging it again. We had 10 hits.
equal good guys ok seems whether
He's seems to play pretty good and equal whether we put him in the infield or outfield. He's just one of those guys who does OK at any position.
bands judged popularity seemed
I competed in 2004. I was disappointed because it seemed like a popularity contest. Bands weren't judged on sound.
athletic experience feed missed olympic personal time
I really didn't feed off the whole Olympic experience at all, and I regret that from an athletic perspective, and also from a personal experience. I feel like I missed out, so I'm not going to do that this time.
running dream years
You dream about the Olympics for so long and you have that one day, then it's over, and when you don't run well there is this huge letdown. It took me years to deal with that. I feel like I almost had to cleanse myself of that experience.
awards world facts
The fact that "Léon: The Professional" doesn't have every award in the world is a sign that it is underrated. I'm not even ashamed to say that I cried during every scene.
skills mind bags
I'd want to have the power of mind control. If I had that one skill you'd always see at the bank loading up bags full of cash.
morning race water
The big thing is hydrating the day before the race. I will have 20 ounces of water right when I get up in the morning the day before, and I'll drink throughout the day.
running two race
I may not drink an electrolyte beverage during the race. If I am running in an hour, I won't need one. But if you're running an hour-and-a-half to two hours or more, maybe you need a little bit of the electrolytes.
guy racing study
I don't really study the guys that I'm racing against.
