everybody fun national playing rightfully road series
In the National League, everybody always said the road to the World Series went through Atlanta. In the American League, the same thing can be said about New York. They're a storied franchise, and rightfully so, with all of the world championships they've won. But we're not intimidated by the Yankees, and we're going to have fun playing those guys.
attempt base bunt five guys hits might pick second six third time year
I used to get 10, 20 bunt hits a year a long time ago. Now I get five or six a year. I kind of pick my spots. I'll probably attempt a lot more than that. Guys still play me in at third base and in a little at second base. I always look. If the opportunity's there, I might as well take it.
change diego enjoy everybody expensive people rains san southern
People actually enjoy it when it rains in San Diego because we never get it. It's a nice change of pace. When you live in Southern California, everybody says, 'It's so expensive there.' I tell them, 'It's just a very expensive weather tax.'
base bit depends guys pick third
I pick my spots, but guys still play me in at third base and a little bit at second. I've always said if the opportunity's there, I'll take it. It depends on the situation.
appreciate bit giving glad pay results starting sticking time translate
I've been comfortable in the box, but it doesn't always translate into results. This time of year, results count. I appreciate him sticking with me as much as he has and keep giving me opportunities. I'm glad it's starting to pay off a little bit more.
call guys happened percent
Those guys make the right call 99 percent of the time. It's just unfortunate it's happened the way it has.
july looking turns
We were more looking to July when Mo turns 40 for the all-40 outfield.
contribute favor god hopefully knows odds plenty time year
This time of the year, you want to contribute when you get your opportunities. God knows I've had plenty of opportunities this year when I haven't come through, so hopefully the odds are in my favor now.
barry catch forward huge looking playing seeing
We're playing for a championship, and Barry is a huge part of that, but he's (only) one part. I'm looking forward to seeing what he does, but you can't catch yourself being a spectator. I don't think that will be a problem.
deal expecting matter playing time win
We didn't come in here not expecting to win the first game. It was just about playing baseball, because no matter what the time is, you've got to deal with it.
battle nine team
We're a team that's going to battle you for nine innings.
way playoffs
It's the playoffs. You find a way to get through.
long way omar
I loved Omar Vizquel. He tells some really long jokes, and he has his own way of telling them, but he can make every joke very funny. He would always come up with jokes on the loudspeaker on the bus.
following
We are following the regulations, that's all I can say.
