juice trying
We were up early, but it was still 4-0. In this game, that's not too much of a lead. I wasn't trying to juice it. I was just trying to put it in play.
consider hit home knows might runs trying
I don't consider myself a home-run hitter. I don't try to hit home runs. But the more I play, the better I feel. Who knows what might happen? Like I say, I'm not trying to hit home runs - but I like it when I do.
expect happen last trying
I didn't expect it to happen this fast. Last year, I was just trying to make the team.
expect happen trying
I didn't expect it to happen this fast. I'm just trying to learn. The more I get out there, the better I play.
playing team
I think we got the team that can do it. We just got to keep playing the way we are. We're right where we wanted to be, and now it's up to us.
knew saw tried wait
I saw it. It was right at me. It just got in the sun. I knew it was going to be in the sun. I tried to wait for it to come out and I just never saw it.
game
I'm still going to play the game the same way. I want to be here for a long time.
team
That's the way we've been all year. This isn't a team that panics.
early focusing kept last point scoring slow start
We got to (Chen) early and kept going. We got into the groove. We all kind of got off to a slow start last season, so we have really made a point of focusing on scoring this season.
score shut zero
We don't like getting shut out. To score zero is unacceptable. We feel we're a pretty solid-hitting club.
farther kept stopped throughout
Throughout the at-bat I just kept going farther and farther. I wanted to see how much they would let me have before they stopped me. They never did, and I told Skins, 'I can take this.

hard national tv whether
Whether or not we were on national TV made no difference. We go out and play hard every game.
early hopefully seemed soon tough
He's a tough pitcher. You want to come out early and hopefully get him a little rattled. Get the lineup going as soon as you can. It seemed to work.
