ahead ball base bunt changed decided extra few figured goes good hit honest innings laying maybe mind normally obviously pitch swing thinking threw worked
We had obviously not done anything for a few innings and I was actually going up there and thinking about laying down a bunt on the first pitch. Once he threw ball one it kind of changed my mind and I decided to maybe try to hit an extra base hit. I figured being ahead in the count, maybe I was going to get a fastball. Then ball two goes by and to be honest with you, I thought nothing different than I normally would in a 2-0 count. (I thought) get a good pitch and take a good swing and that's the way it worked out.
appreciation dream hit moment setting type
This type of hit in this setting is a dream come true, ... It was a moment that was too short-lived and I won't have an appreciation for it for a long time.
guess guys hitting nice sick situation super
Obviously, I was sick to my stomach. But he's a super nice guy. It's a situation where, if it was going to be one of those guys hitting the homer, I guess I'd like it to be him.
hits pitches situations
They made more pitches in big situations and got more hits in big situations.
bats best fortunate hits hoping knowing luckily swing
The best part about it is knowing that we don't have to go back to Atlanta, ... We had some bats out of the lineup and everyone was kind of hoping that we were going to do it with just one swing of the bat. Luckily I was the guy. I am fortunate to have big hits at all levels, but this is very gratifying.
beat hits teams
It's just unfortunate we're not stringing any hits together, and to beat the better teams we're going to have to play more consistent.
hit home last looking maybe price series talked wife
It's very ironic. My wife talked about it last night. I think he's actually looking to unload it. Maybe he can up the price on it now because he hit a World Series home run.
believe came great heard hit knew people resist stories temptation thinking unique
It's neat. Sometimes you try to resist the temptation of thinking you've heard all the stories and tuning people out, because you'll hear some pretty unique stories. You can't believe how many people came up to me and said, 'Oh, we knew you were going to hit it.' Most people have been really great about it.

Well, I was hardly the hero tonight. Roy was great - seven innings pitched and one run. He bailed us out quite a few times. Luckily, I was able to get a couple knocks.
