emphasis game
You don't want to look at one game and put too much emphasis on it,
break threw throw tough
I thought he would go to first. It was a break for us that he threw it a little high. It's a tough throw for any pitcher.
across happy love matter selected
No matter what happens, I'm just happy to be selected to this roster. But I'd love to play and have 'USA' across my chest.
ahead series swept team win
It's a big win -- no doubt. We don't want to get swept two series in a row, especially by the team that's ahead in our division. Hopefully, this will give us some confidence.
hit none season taking
None of it's hit me, ... After the season I'll look back at it but right now I'm taking it day by day.
baseball figure fun hard night
Baseball doesn't make sense. I'll never get this game, and I'm never going try to figure it out. I'm just going to have fun every night and play as hard as we can.
ball felt hardest maybe sure
I felt like that was the hardest ball I've ever hit. Maybe it's because I haven't been hitting, but it sure felt like it.
ball felt opposite took
(I) took one the opposite way, finally, ... It felt good. I felt like I've been able to see the ball better. If you do that, you're going to be able to hit.
great
A lot of us wanted to play for the Braves, ... It's great to be a part of it now and be part of the tradition.
guys players rag
I know I'm going to take some jabs from the players for this, ... It's part of the deal. ... Between these guys and my family, they're going to rag me and keep me humble.
fun guys trying win
It's fun because a lot of young guys have come up in this division. We're all trying to do the same thing, and that's win a title.
ball bringing great happening hit love matter nice people purity seemed time
It seemed like 30 (home runs) didn't even matter for years. So I think what's happening is great for the game. We are bringing the purity back. I know people love to see the ball hit 600 feet, but at the same time it's always nice to see a 2-1 game. That's real baseball.
awesome
It was awesome to be able to be a part of this.
far last sophomore stronger stuff
If you let that stuff get in your head, yeah, you'll have a sophomore slump. As far as I'm concerned, there's no such thing. I'm stronger and more experienced than I was last year.
