He said nothing was wrong with what I said, but it might have come out wrong.
advantage games hitters table win
He was unbelievable tonight. If he can set the table and do that day in and day out, we are going to win a lot more games because of it. If you can be on base, with all the hitters we have in our lineup, it's going to be a big advantage for our team.

Those kind of comments, you take them in and let them go right out, ... It's certainly an honor to be compared to great players, but I can't be thinking about that when I'm on the field. I just want to relax and play.

I don't think anybody gets drafted and thinks they'll be up that year. It just happened.

I think Jose looks forward to playing every day. I think when you have a rivalry like this, it's exciting and good for the league. It's like the playoffs every time. Both teams want to win that bad.
came fell good knew missed pitch trying
I was just trying to get on base. He fell behind, 3-0. On 3-1, I had a good pitch to hit, too, and I just missed it foul. He came back with the same pitch and I knew I got it that time.
far good hit saw swing tried
I saw it good. But I probably tried to hit it too far and didn't put a good swing on it.
against easy guys hard talk teams whenever younger
Having younger guys on other teams makes it easy for all of us, because we can talk to each other, to talk about what it is like. It's hard for young guys sometimes, and there's not too many of us around. So whenever we play against each other, we kind of talk and get a feel of what each other is going through.
