hit
I don't think you can do anything with the numbers. You still have to have hand-eye coordination. You still have to hit the ball.
burnt looked
I started smelling burnt rubber. I looked around, and (the kitchen) was just smoke-filled.
ball chance experience home hopefully next starting stay ultimate winter year
Obviously, that's still the ultimate goal, to be here and stay here. I'm going to go home in the offseason and I'm going to play winter ball and get some experience down there, and hopefully next year I'll have the chance to win a starting job.
closest national
I think he's the closest we've had to a national figure.
great happy team
It was awesome. I was happy for the team. It was a big team win. We pitched well and we had great defense.
felt good last swing
I felt good last year. I know my swing well enough that when things go south, I can make the adjustments.
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,
good matter needed stopped win
Finally, we were able to get a one-run win in our favor. It was good. We stopped them when we needed to. It's always good to win, no matter if it's by one or 10.
few games leagues obviously year
I was just kind of like, 'Wow, you know, that's pretty tight. That's awesome. 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.
definitely exciting great
It's definitely an exciting day for me, ... It's a great feeling. I can't put it into words.
game
I told Pedro thanks. I've never been part of a game that was this exciting.
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.
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.
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.
