We'll have some really good at-bats today.

That first inning, that double, then the one he drove to center field.

I thought the at-bats today from him looked like Bo Bichette.

And didn't sense he had been really pressing at all anyway.

Yeah, that's right.

You know what I mean?

Sorry.

It was a full five.

Being in the zone, making good pitches.

Defense was great, so just having the confidence to go out there.

No walks, limit that, and just attack the zone and do what I can to get as far as I can with a limited amount of pitches.

He absolutely did.

Ultra aggressive at times, expanding at times as well with some of the guys.

We just got to get back to what we do well, which is controlling the strike zone, getting good pitches to hit and doing damage.

He's a large man.

The first one, the ground ball, was the one that there's no excuses, and he'll be the first one that tells you that.
