Just seeing how he handled it last year, I talk with him about that this year - how he deals with the pressure. We laugh and joke about the home run thing. He told me I couldn't beat his 20.

Honestly, no. I'd lie if I said I did. This year, I knew I could hit for power but I never envisioned myself having the power numbers that I have had at this point in the season. It has been really amazing for myself and sort of a surreal feeling.

The bottom line is we didn't get the timely hits. They have some good arms, but we didn't execute when we needed to.
