“I think we match up with anybody because our pitching. In a short series you run your big three out there or four out there. That generally is what wins a series - pitching and defense.

“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 the outfielder puts the ball right on the money, he's out by a quarter-step and it's a bang-bang play, that's not a mistake. That's baseball. 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
