Examples of Watson in a Sentence

1. Yasiel Puig:

   When I missed the pitch, I knew I thought it was the best pitch that Watson was gonna throw me, so I was a little upset, and [Hundley] told me to stop complaining, get back into the box. And when I got in his face, he told me to also get out of his face. So that's when I got upset. I didn't like that he was telling me what to do, and then he said some words to me in English that I really can't repeat.

2. Jason Day:

   I enjoy and thrive off that competitiveness, i would enjoy a Spieth, McIlroy, Fowler, Scott, (Bubba) Watson, (Phil) Mickelson Sunday. That would be a lot of fun.

3. Francis Wahlgren:

   There hasn't been any Watson scientific manuscript material ever offered at auction before.

4. Matt MacDonald:

   People visualize DNA in the classical helix structure in the way that Watson and Crick discovered it, when you put DNA into this solution, though, it starts to organize itself in a bulk liquid crystal. It’s not quite a liquid or a solid, it transitions through phases. That’s what people are seeing through these images. Being able to visualize it in an attractive way is pretty cool.

5. Susan Kelechi Watson:

   [ Beth ] took the position of being more sacrificial because of what was happening. This is a guy who for 36 years of Susan Kelechi Watson life has never known Susan Kelechi Watson had a real father somewhere, a biological father somewhere in the world, i think it was time for her to take a step back and let him have that moment, especially since his father was dying. I think there's a time to... start those type of arguments and there's a time to say maybe you know what, maybe I'll just let him live and do what he needs to do and have his time, but pressure on a relationship is gon na happen.
