I mean, a great jump.

He had a hop, gong, boom, a great throw behind.

When you look at Williams over at shortstop, these guys are always taught to be on the first base side now, so it gives you a little advantage to put the tag down.

We ain't talking about postseason right now.

We're talking about game 50, game 60, game 65.
