ahead competitor count great looking normally sure
I was looking for Baez to come after me like he normally does, ... He's a great competitor out there, and I was looking for something hard. I'm sure he wanted to get ahead in the count in that situation.
looking normally

caught felt few fly forward good happy looking reasonably
As for my oblique, everything felt fine. I felt good in (right field). I caught a few fly balls, too. I felt reasonably comfortable at the plate. I'm happy with my day and I'm looking forward to tomorrow.
best definitely feed games rest row situation stay
We just have to maintain, stay healthy, get the rest that we need and just come out and feed off our fans. I think that's the best part about having so many games in a row -- we're here at home. It's definitely a situation where we can feed off our fans. They can energize us with the best of them.
capitalize crunch great score team win
Every win is big. We're a great team at crunch time, and every win is important. We capitalize to score runs.
early feels maybe moving shoot
It feels good. I'm moving around out there. Maybe we can shoot for early (this) week.
bring clean coaching deal definitely deserves entire exactly expected gets home kept manager managers players staff team
I think he?s done exactly what team has expected him to do. He?s kept a very clean clubhouse, there are no disgruntled ballplayers or anything. He?s always had an open-door policy, our entire coaching staff does, I think Theo does, also. He definitely deserves what any other manager gets when they bring home a World Series. Granted, players go out there and play, but managers have to deal with us all.
baby bull
It could be down to his back, or he could be bald. He could be the Baby Bull again.
early good maybe moving next shoot tomorrow
I feel good and I'm moving around out there. I'll see how tomorrow goes. Maybe I'll shoot for early next week.
backed commend fan fans gave tip
I didn't have any fan interference at all. They backed away. I commend those fans there. I gave them a little tip of the cap.
anybody capability hit likes mistake pitch plate score situation
I got a mistake pitch and was able to hit it. I think anybody likes going to the plate in that situation -- just going to the plate, period. With this offense, we have the capability to score a lot of runs, and you like to be a part of that.
affect asked
He's just easygoing. He doesn't let things affect him. I think he's done everything the organization's asked of him.
fed
We started off sluggish. But we fed off our fans.
coming fans feed field huge job late middle road whether winning
We feed off our fans all the time, whether it's coming in late from a road trip, or in the middle of a long homestand. We always feed off our fans. I think they know that. They're a very important part of the way we play. Obviously, we have to go out on the field and get the job done, but they're always a huge part of us winning ballgames.
