extremist feminist guilt imposing opening refrain trip
The opening salvo of Commander-in-Chief is a guilt trip for all those Americans who thought an unelected (and then-unelectable) feminist extremist should refrain from imposing her will upon the nation.
earn easy given outfield tough
I still feel like I have to make the team. Here, nothing is given to me. I have to earn it. That's a tough outfield to break. It's not going to be easy for any outfielder.
guy
I was a guy out there who really didn't know how to play the game.
biggest family group overlooked students
I'm in a family of six. And I'm also engaged, and my grandparents want to come. The biggest group being overlooked is students who are underclassmen and friends (with the seniors).
carry clicked needed struggles tried
He showed me the ropes. A lot of the struggles I had in the minors, he's had as a ballplayer. We clicked on that level. We just tried to make a lot of the adjustments I needed to make. Not only on the field, but off the field, how to carry yourself, how to be a professional.

I was still disappointed in myself that I didn't get the bunt down because I know I can, ... but I guess it all worked out in the end today.
bunt guess rarely stuff today worked
I was still disappointed in myself I didn't get the bunt down because I feel I can do it, but I guess it all worked out today in the end. We'll take it, but in the end we'll have to execute. Stuff like that very rarely happens.
consistency fall spring together wonder
I would feel much better if we would have some consistency going in from the other spring tournaments, but it just hasn't been there. It kind of makes you wonder if it's all going to fall together or not at the right time.
hate
I hate it. I hate losing. I always have, always will.
based basketball cyclists football great past people performance players saying soccer sports surprised track using
I am saying 40% of people in sports are still using performance (enhancing drugs). I think that based on past experiences I have had. It is not only track and field, there are soccer players, football players, basketball players, cyclists and you would be surprised that some of the great players are doing stuff.
hang timid
I feel like I've been a little too timid lately. I have to let it all hang out.

Getting with Rob Deer has really helped me out.
faced few quite
I faced him quite a few times and fared pretty well.
catalyst definitely fun goes great hard hitting plays watch
He goes out and plays hard every day, ... Lately, he's been hitting gaps, a lot of triples and doubles. He's definitely fun to watch and a great teammate, always upbeat. He's a catalyst for this team. When he's going good, he's always on base.
