Just the atmosphere -- you can hear yourself think. There, you can't hear anything. The pressure that not only the team puts on you but the fans put on you, it [makes] a big difference.

They don't go through the grind other guys go through defensively, diving after balls, chasing balls. If you make an error, it might affect you but if you're a DH, you don't go through any of that. You just hit. As good a hitter as he is, and he's one of the best, no question, I could never vote for a guy who doesn't do play defense.

They don't go through the grind others do defensively, diving after balls, chasing balls, if you make an error how it might affect you next at bat. If you're a DH you don't go through any of that. You just hit. So as good a hitter as he is, and he's one of the best in the game, no question, I can never vote for him. That's all.

We were in a good position going into the ninth, and then we had our closer out there.

I feel like I've definitely improved each year.

It shows consistency, so I'm happy with that.
