ground hang hit onto past
I thought I had it. I hit the ground and it popped out. I was pretty disappointed. In the past I've been able to hang onto them.

That means the game's gone extra innings and you need runs. I was just fortunate enough to have the opportunity.
seems somebody time
Every time I come up, somebody always seems to be on base.
days everybody relax starts three
On Monday, everybody starts at zero. I've got three more days to relax and be more comfortable at the plate.
gets takes
Someone gets booed - we're all a team, we're all a family, and I think everyone takes it kind of personally.
nice victory win
It was a long day. It's nice to do that, to get us a victory in that heat. It was a nice win for us.
catch hang onto pitcher
That was tough. If I catch that, there are two outs and the pitcher is up. It's frustrating. In the past, I've been able to hang onto them.
consistent easier
Getting consistent at-bats... makes it much easier when you're out there.
help hopefully impress mind opportunity team win
My whole mind-set has been when I do go out and get an opportunity to play I'm just going to go out and do what I can to help this team win and play hard. Hopefully you impress those around you.
full gotten wondered
I've never gotten that many at-bats in a season. I've always wondered what I could do over a full season.

I know I hit it high. I didn't know if it was going to carry. When I saw him going back, I thought he had a chance.
hit kept knew
It just kept going and going. I thought when he first hit it I'd have a play on it, and then it was over before I knew it.
played
I could have played if I had to.
focused hard learn stay
I still give away too many at-bats. I have to learn to stay focused on every pitch. It's hard to do.
