To tell you the truth, when I rounded second, I thought he had it. It looked liked he took it out of his glove. I thought he was messing with me.

Jim Thome has been hitting home runs long before I got here. He's over there doing what he's done his entire career. I'm still just trying to make a name for myself.

Just keeping it real. I was at home. I think they were taking it out and were just getting ready to dry it.

I'm still kind of searching right now. Whatever feels good. It's really all about seeing the ball. When you're confident, it really doesn't matter who you're facing.

With Jim being traded, it's a relief because you don't have to answer those questions any more. At the same time, you wish him the best of luck and hope he comes back and has the same kind of year he's been having.

Even though it's raining outside, it kind of brightens the day.

Every game is tight. Every game is a must-win. You've got to go out there and handle your business. Hopefully, you're there at the end.
far hitting home knew matter pick plate question seeing soon touched
As soon as I touched home plate I knew that question was coming. As far as hitting left-handers, I think it's a matter of seeing them down here. The more I see them the more things I can pick up and take into the season.

People will probably look at it that way.
