guy obviously pennant problem wait
Doug's been here all year, so obviously he's the guy that's going to play, especially being in a pennant race, ... I'm a young guy and I still have to wait for my turn. But I have no problem with that.
crest feet reach specific wider
They used to say very specific things like, 'The crest will reach 49 feet at this time.' Now they give a wider range.
far
Awesome. Just all the things I've been able to do so far up here, and just to be able to do that too is just awesome.
games job trying win
We've still got games to play and we still have the job of going out trying to win games.
feeling great happy obviously situation
I was obviously happy for the guy. To get called up and be put in a situation like that and be able to come up big like that is awesome. It must've been a great feeling for him because I know it was for me.
few games leagues obviously year
I had a few multihomer games this year down in Double-A, but obviously doing it in the big leagues is so much more special,
awesome great hanging helping pumped team waiting
I don't know how you look at it, ... It's just awesome that it happened. It was great for me, I was pumped I was helping the team out, and then - that's it. Now I'm just hanging out waiting to help.
definitely hop left stretched took
I definitely think I should have made it. It took a little hop to the left and I stretched too early.
definitely hitting next settle taught
I definitely think hitting is contagious. I think if you get a hit, that makes you greedier. You want to get a hit in your next at-bat. I've been taught you can't settle for just one hit in a game. If you have two, you want to have three. If you have three, you want to have four. But I definitely think hitting is contagious, just like winning.
game
I told Pedro thanks. I've never been part of a game that was this exciting.
advantage guys huge minor opportunity preach time
It's a huge opportunity, ... A lot of guys don't get the opportunity to play here. They preach to you all the time in the minor leagues, that when you get here, you have to take advantage of it. I feel like I'm doing that.
driving field game leagues plays runs
The big leagues to me this game is no different than a Double-A, Triple-A game. We still have to play the game the right way, and it's making plays on the field and driving in runs when you get the chance.
operating problems realm systems
It's in the realm of operating systems that the most troublesome problems exist,
definitely exciting great
It's definitely an exciting day for me, ... It's a great feeling. I can't put it into words.
