career freak giving happen home runs
This will probably never happen to him in his career again, giving up home runs in consecutive games. It's one of those freak things.
gets hits hitters home seems showing stop threat twice whenever
With the hitters we have, we are a threat to hit homers any time. I told Preston to stop showing me up. It seems like whenever I hit a home run, he gets up and hits one twice as far.
running home balls
The mark of a good hitter is someone who hits the ball hard, often. And if you run into a few home runs, that's fine.
running home guy
I want to be a guy who produces runs, who drives in runs, who can beat you with a single or can beat you with a home run, who's just a tough out.
homer instead
Fortunately we play here, where it was a homer instead of a double.
bat free guy home huge last runs saw swinging
Absolutely. Something around 30 home runs and 90-100 RBIs. I know the guy too well. I saw how he was swinging the bat at the end of last season. It was free and easy. He's going to be a huge part of our offense.
call caught died fair guy hit home knew last minute reached thinking time watched wondering
I knew I hit it good, but I wasn't thinking home run. The whole time I was wondering if it was going to be fair or foul. I kind of watched and at the last minute it straightened out and died in the corner. The guy reached his glove out and caught it, and I knew they were going to call it at least a double.
