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.
confident exciting glad good hitter leagues obviously opening stick year
Obviously if I was in another lineup, I'd probably not be the cleanup hitter. So for me, personally, it's kind of an honor. I'm glad they feel confident in me to put me in that position. For me, it's just exciting to be in the big leagues opening up. Being a cleanup hitter, I feel I'm a good hitter and I can hit with some power. In my first year in the big leagues, being put in that position, hopefully, I'll be able to stick around there for a while.
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.
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.
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.

I think he's the closest we've had to a national figure.

I think it would have a positive economic impact. I think it would mean Wisconsin would finally get a greater share of where the federal dollars are spent.
guys night ready
With all the things I've been able to do up here so far, to be able to do that, it's awesome. It was a long night ...and I think the guys were ready to get out of here.
ownership period quite wait
We're in for a period of uncertainty as we wait for new ownership to emerge, I really don't feel unwanted. I think there's going to be quite a lot of interest.
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.
learn personal situation veteran
I don't know too much about the situation and I don't get into personal stuff, ... But just to see a veteran going through what he's going through, you always learn from that.
help
With me being new to the position, he can help show me a lot of different stuff. That's right up my alley.
bet
I bet you can play some bad-ass Madden on it,
bottom excited game line win
You get a little more excited for a game like this and when you do well it makes you feel good. But the bottom line is we didn't win the game and that's what we're here to do and not make one person feel good.
