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.
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.
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.
ride
I'm going to ride this as long as I can.
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.
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.

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.

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.
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.
bet
I bet you can play some bad-ass Madden on it,
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.
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.
