I’ve talked to guys who have played for the Phillies and gone on to other organizations and the grass isn’t always greener on the other side.
It's good to find the barrel of the bat again.
Hitting at the top of the order is a good thing. You get more at-bats. I'm excited to see how this develops.
I'm definitely not the most graceful person out there. I've always been taught to play hard. I don't know how not to play hard. But for some guys it just looks easier. For me, it's not that natural.
The majority of the time with two strikes I'll choke up on the bat a little bit to try to stay as short as possible. It doesn't always work out like that, but that's the goal.
I didn't know what to expect coming to college. High school was pretty easy and I guess I expected college to be along the same route. It was just an overwhelming experience.
I don't really like the spotlight.
Any loss like that is devastating. Especially with five games to go.
It was weird seeing him in a different uniform. But it was nice to see him again.
Nobody should be satisfied in this game. Maybe Barry Bonds, but maybe even he wants to be better.
I've said this before, but going and playing with the guys that have been to the World Series, the elite players of the game, there's no harm in hanging around those guys at all.
I could care less if people talk about us or not. We know what we can do here. It's an exciting time for us.
It was very exciting. I knew the game was out of reach at that point, but it was fun to watch. It's all about being positive and taking something out of a loss. We'll take that, relax on the day off and be ready for Wednesday.
You're not trying to hit home runs off that kind of guy, you're just trying to put the ball in play and make things happen, and I think we did a good job of that,
