I just kept battling it out, I'd seen Ozzie Albies stuff or whatever, so I was sitting on the off-speed, and I was thinking to Jorge Soler, if he throws me an off-speed pitch, I can connect and drive the ball, if Ozzie Albies throws me a fastball, I'm just going to try to stay alive during this at-bat. I got to 3-2, and I didn't want the same thing to happen on the first inning at-bat where I struck out on the off-speed pitch. So I was just kind of getting prepared for that.
