I could have played if I had to.

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.
hit saw
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.
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.
help jobs stress
When so much is there for you, it does help take the stress out of our jobs.
base breaks capable forward fun gets guy healthy hopefully single stay tough
You look down and every single guy ... is capable of doing damage. It's pretty tough when you're an opposing pitcher. The leadoff guy gets on base and everything breaks loose. Then you can go down the whole line. It's something to look forward to. Hopefully everyone can stay healthy and it's going to be a fun year.
