base clubhouse guys hit home lack looser pressure today took
It wasn't through lack of effort, it was just guys pressing too much. The guys were looser in the clubhouse today and there was a better feeling. Today was more of what we've been doing this year. We got guys on base and we hit some big home runs. That took a lot of pressure off us.
definitely experience feeling glad guys obviously odd rest share spent uniform
It's obviously an odd feeling being here and not being in uniform with the rest of the team. I spent a lot of years here. It's definitely an odd situation, but I'm definitely glad to be here to see the guys and share this experience with them.

adjusted attention ball batting carries eyes pay practice sure tendencies trying week
It's going to take some getting used to. I think it will probably take me about a week to get adjusted to the way the ball carries here and the tendencies in the gaps. I've been trying to pay attention in batting practice and make sure I keep my eyes on the ball and make sure I get there before the ball comes down so I can make any adjustments if I need to.
hardest last leaving traded
It was one last hurrah with my friends. The hardest part about being traded is you feel like you're leaving your family.

Anytime you're in a funk as a team, everyone wants to do something to get yourself out of it.
family learn spot time
Any time you put yourself in an unnecessary spot off the field, you learn a lesson. This is my livelihood, not only for me, but for my family and kids. I have more things to think about than myself.
ball doubt hit second
That second ball was pretty impressive. He can hit them, no doubt about it.
bother days kids knows leave mess six watch wife
That's all I do on Sundays, ... I tell my wife not to bother me on Sundays. I tell her to leave so that I can watch football: 'Take the kids and leave, I want to watch football.' She knows not to mess with me on Sundays. I'll give her the other six days of the week. Just don't mess with me on Sundays.

All the guys who were booing him when he came to the plate were cheering for him when the ball went over the fence. It was nice to see us pull together and get a win.
