expect fans good react stuff throws weekend
I don't expect our fans will react like they do in other places. This isn't a place that throws stuff on the field. The fans are good about that here. I think it will be a good weekend for the fans.
batting eight five home kid special starting watch
It is encouraging to see a kid come up and do what he doing. He's got five home runs. That's more than the starting eight combined. You watch him in batting practice, and you know he is a special kind of hitter.
played plays pushing struggles
I've played with a lot of these guys. They know I've had my struggles over there. They say if you keep pushing forward, working hard, plays like that are the reward.
hit hitting home line run
I can't try to hit home runs, because I'm not a home run hitter. If you try and do that, you'll get into a slump. When things are going well, I'm hitting line drives.
anytime hospital scary wrong
It's scary anytime you go to a hospital and they don't know what's wrong with you.
days drive four hits last legs none seems since six three time
It just seems like the last three or four days I've been able to keep my legs under me and kind of drive the ball. It's been a long time since I've had six hits and none of them have been singles.
running giving-up winning
Anytime you give up one run in Coors Field you expect to win a ball game. It just shows how well Myers pitched.
trying quality together
I'm trying to put together quality at-bats and hit the ball hard somewhere.
years play guy
I am a big guy and happen to play a position that requires you to be relatively quick. I can't let up now. I have to work every day to be better next year.
running home feel-good
Home runs usually come in bunches for me. If I'm feeling good and I'm on time, I can drive the ball even more.
couple team league
I get the fantasy league comment a couple of times a series ... that's pretty cool. They might be rooting for the other team, but if I do well it helps them out. It's kind of cool.
