I'm not going to lie, April was a special month. I can't explain it. I don't know why, all of a sudden, balls were flying out of the ballpark. |
I'm not going to lie. I've paid attention to that a little bit. When you turn on the TV, that's all you see. It feels unreal to put me with all those names. |
I'm striking out way too much. I'm either hitting the ball out of the park, getting an extra-base hit - or I'm striking out. |
I'm striking out way too much. I'm not making any adjustments, either. |
I've never been the guy who had all the talent and could take a day off here and there. I've had to work and prepare myself every single day. All this attention is new to me. I'm gonna have to get used to it, if I keep this up. |
I've never tried to hit a home run. Every time I hit one, I just say to myself, 'There's no way that just happened again.' It's mind-blowing. |
If he says we played bad, we played bad. He's the boss. |
If you can hit .300, it's something. It doesn't matter if it's your first season or your 15th, .300 is a good year. If I can get that done, that would be great. |
It feels good and it's fun. The biggest thing is we got to go out there and make sure that we get wins. If I'm going out there looking for personal numbers, that's the wrong thing. We need wins, and today what happened got us a win. |
It feels unreal. You put me in with all these names, you put me with everybody else ? maybe when the season's over, I can sit back and really realize what I did to start the season, and hopefully, I can continue to enjoy that throughout the season. |
It was a surprise to me. |
It was my first opening day actually playing and it was exciting. I didn't expect anything of that magnitude, but it's something special. |
It will be good to start playing at home. We have an opportunity to get off to a very good start this season. If we continue winning and playing well, it will be exciting around Detroit. Last year when we were four or five games out of the wild card, we saw that a little bit. |
It's instant feedback. You can see things right away. |
It's instant feedback. You can see things right away. You can put a bad swing on top of a good swing, and you can compare. |
