biggest exciting face guy hitting home meant
It's just exciting to face a guy like that, and obviously, hitting a home run's pretty cool. I think the biggest thing is what it meant for us yesterday. Just to be a part of that was awesome.
experience growing watched
It's exciting. I watched him growing up, ... This whole experience is exciting.
league major opportunity playing seen six
It's a very big opportunity. You don't see an opportunity like this come up in major league baseball. In the six years I've been playing in the minors, I don't think I've ever seen it.
double fills home line looks next short
It's a lot of home runs, I think, in a short time. And it looks like a lot more than nine. It's double digits. That makes it special. It fills up the line next to your name.
almost bunch chance guys league minor team
It's almost like you've got a bunch of minor league All-Stars together. It's awesome. Most of these guys were probably going to be on a major-league team anyway. Now we have a chance to all be on the same team.
puts start three
It was a big boost. When you start off with three runs, it puts them on the defensive.
bases describe felt hear hit home walking
You can't really describe it. It's like walking on air. After I hit my home run, I felt like I didn't hear anything and just jogged around the bases ... it's unexplainable.
clearing create hope identify players pull rather
The hope for me is to try and create a clearing ground, where rather than just go back with two players from this trip, I'll be able to identify players that I can pull every year.
forks general grand optimistic quite turn widespread
The general sense of disappointment is pretty widespread in the Herald company, but we've been through worse. I'm quite optimistic that this will turn out well for Grand Forks and the Herald.
believe edgar race scandal talk
I think the MSI scandal will keep Edgar out of the race. You want to talk about that? Believe me, we'll talk all about that.
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.
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.
best feeling guess race team
It's been awesome, man. I don't know what to say about it. I guess the best thing I can say is just to be here and be part of this team and be in a race and be able to contribute, I don't think there's a better feeling than that.
ride
I'm going to ride this as long as I can.
