Whatever happened last year to propel us to the run that we made, it's really carried over to this year. Guys expect to win ball games and that's showing up in the plays we're making.

I've been really seeing the ball (well) and getting some pitches to hit. For me, it's just a matter of staying where I'm at, not try to do too much, and try to take what they give me.

Ball two went by and obviously I was in a good situation. I'm zeroing in on a fastball up in the zone. It's exactly what I got.

It's a rule of thumb for me if I'm at second when he has the ball I try to go for three.
