high low possibly
I went from as high as I could possibly be to as low as you could possibly be overnight.
telling
The way Eli started the inning off, I'm telling you right now, that's what started us all off.
gets guys hope jason soon team
It's devastating. He's the captain, the team leader. I don't know the situation, but I hope he gets back as soon as possible. The only compensation is we've got guys that can take his place. Eli (Marrero) and Jason (Smith) can play the position.
mind
That's the first thing that comes to mind -- it's something I'll never forget.
found happen
I found a hole. That doesn't happen very often.
aggressive balls battle behind far game good laying looked looking lose might strikes taking work year
I've never walked. If I'm laying off balls, I might get some walks. But I don't go up looking for a walk. Never have. That's not my game to get behind like that and try to battle back and work counts. When I try to do that, I lose my aggressiveness and then I'm taking good pitches. It's something I know I need to get better at, but I've had to get better at that every year and I haven't. Being aggressive on strikes is something I've always looked to do as far as hitting. I feel like I've done well with that approach.
guy night situation
There's not a better situation to be in. I'd want to be the guy in it every night if I could.
bit counts expecting experience far rookies year
We're not rookies anymore, and we've got a year under our belts. Every little bit counts as far as experience goes, and hopefully, every year we get a little bit better. This year, we're expecting to play better and for better things to happen.
