I was kind of a slap hitter, trying to get base hits, hit line drives, stay below a certain trajectory with my ball.
If I'd just tried for them dinky singles I could've batted around .600.
That's the fourth extra base hit for the Padres - two doubles and a triple.
In the postseason, as many ways as you can get on base as possible is big.
I want to hit line droves. I want to hit my doubles, my singles, get on base.
I don't try to hit home runs. I just try to meet the ball and get base hits.
I wish I could go up every single time and have guys on base.
I'm flattered that so many baseball people think I'm a Hall of Famer. But what's hard to believe is how one-hundred and fifty plus people have changed their minds about me since I became eligible, because I haven't had a base hit since then.
