“In this game, you have to think about making plays, you can't worry about making mistakes. At times, a guy will get thrown out, but in the bigger scheme, the bases we're going to take will far outweigh that occasional misread. And it depends on what you call a mistake.

If you're out by four or five steps, it's ugly, it's a misread, but in the big picture, that aggressiveness is going to help us more than the occasional blunder will hurt.” IfsThinkingPlayHelpingBigsGuyGamesHurtMistakeStepsWorryFiveFourDependsBaseballBallsBasesBiggerUglyThrownMaking MistakesQuartersSchemesBangsOccasionalBlundersBig PictureAggressivenessOutfielders Author:Mike Scioscia
