brings close fans good great interact last looks problems seats
It's so fan-friendly. It looks nice, it's a great idea. From last year, I know there were a lot of problems in the upper deck, and I don't know how good those seats could even be. This brings the fans close to the field, and we'll be able to interact more with them.
baseball love
If you didn't love that game, you don't love baseball,
almost emerge last
It's almost like last year. We're right on the verge. We'll get things going. But for everyone in the AL West, it's the same thing right now. Someone is going to emerge from it, and hopefully, it's us.
ball dictate gives great hit huge left nice pitch players sign swinging
That's a huge sign for me, when I hit the ball out to left field. That gives me a lot of confidence. You just let the pitch dictate what you do. That's something you never see the great players do, over-swing -- I do that, I over-swing. Tonight, I didn't feel like I was swinging hard, just nice and easy.
rest teams
You can't really look at what other teams are doing. The rest of the season's in our hands.
confidence gives happened momentum pull win
The way things have been going, to pull off a win like this gives us momentum and confidence. The way it happened was cool.
enjoy game hard lose man momentum
First one, man, but it's hard to enjoy it when you lose the game. It got us back in the game and I thought there was some momentum shift. I know I was excited.
bases guy horrible last man mound
Last year, I was horrible with the bases loaded. I was like, 'Oh, man, oh, man,' I'd get jittery. Now, I'm not the guy who's in trouble, it's the guy on the mound who's in trouble.
check comeback ellis mark name people television turn win
No one ever thought Mark Ellis could do this. He's a name to be remembered. If people don't know who he is, turn on the television and check him out. If he doesn't win comeback player, that's ridiculous.
ahead gives momentum pull road trip win
That was huge. The way things have been going, to pull off a win like we did today, especially with a long road trip ahead of us, it gives us momentum and confidence.
baseball left stake stretch
We've had this kind of stretch before and bounced back. There's just a little more at stake right now. There's still a lot of baseball left and we know how to come from behind.
ball blink bring few game heard past people select struck throw time tough
You blink and it's in the mitt. He struck me out with a 101-m.p.h. fastball. I didn't really see it. I kind of heard it whiz right past me. Very select few people can throw the ball that hard. He's going to be a tough one. You're going to have to bring your 'A' game every time you see him.
proud riding
We battled to get in this spot, and we've got to feel proud about what we've accomplished, ... We just want to keep it going right now; we just need to keep riding that wave.
swings trying looks
I'm being a lot more consistent, trying to make every swing look the same. I'm doing what the situation calls for and trying not to do too much.
