Going around third base, I definitely slowed down a little bit, ... But it was still pretty exciting.
Especially being in the middle of the lineup with Ryan behind me, if I get on base, that could be an easy two runs right there. We can definitely hit home runs, but you have to win games in other ways, too.
We put it all together, ... We still have three more to go. There's definitely still a shot. Obviously, we need a little help.
It's a great place to hit. You can see the ball well, and it definitely travels. It's a big park, but it definitely travels well.
This is a great place to hit. There's a great (hitters') background, and the ball definitely travels. There are a lot of hits out there.
It doesn't matter what happened in the past. It's all about the next three days.
I'm hearing it from all the guys. I expect to. I deserve it. I would give myself grief. If someone else did that, I'd tell them about it.
This, ... shows the fire of this team.
I know it sounds stupid and cliche, but I just want to get better. I want to keep improving.
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 took us a little while, but we swung the bats well tonight.
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 don't really like the spotlight.
I didn't go up to the plate thinking, 'OK, my goal now is to get a hit'-I tried not to think about [the streak].
