When he hit that ball, I didn't react. I didn't react, because I didn't know what to do. I couldn't believe he just did that. So I froze. I just froze.
This is a team that really gets up for this series, and it's a great series to play in and watch. You definitely can't take the Cubs lightly at all.
I think I've been in some good situations where I've been on teams that needed a couple key players but already had their nucleus intact,
it was a lot worse than I thought it was.
It's exciting. We all know that postseason play is a lot of fun. It can make or break you, too.
I think it is the cutting (with his weakened ankle),
Dusty stands up for us no matter what. For him to be there in the thick of it ... no, it doesn't surprise me at all.
I'm from South Carolina and there's not much stuff to do and bowling is like at the top of the totem pole there.
This is such a big magnifying glass. Everything is heightened when you come through in key situations. There's been times when I was hot, but it's kind of been shoved under the table. Now, things are finally going in right direction for me.
I think you truly don't know how it is until you actually get in the game, ... Then you can alter from that. Going in, getting work every day, taking flyballs, running, hitting, whatever, that's not a game situation. ... When it's game time, you've got to go out there and do what you need to do.
That game showed a lot of heart. We could've just laid down and accepted it.
The most important thing is to key in on your emotions. Look at my first at-bat. My emotions were all over the place.
With experience, you learn how to house those emotions and focus on what you need to focus on, ... A lot of times you get too involved with outside forces instead of what you need to be worrying about.
We're playing a tough team. As you can see, they fought to the last out.
