I was obviously happy for the guy. To get called up and be put in a situation like that and be able to come up big like that is awesome. It must've been a great feeling for him because I know it was for me. |
I'm going to ride this as long as I can. |
It was a big boost. When you start off with three runs, it puts them on the defensive. |
It was awesome. I was happy for the team. It was a big team win. We pitched well and we had great defense. |
It's a huge opportunity, ... A lot of guys don't get the opportunity to play here. They preach to you all the time in the minor leagues, that when you get here, you have to take advantage of it. I feel like I'm doing that. |
It's a lot of home runs, I think, in a short time. And it looks like a lot more than nine. It's double digits. That makes it special. It fills up the line next to your name. |
It's a very big opportunity. You don't see an opportunity like this come up in major league baseball. In the six years I've been playing in the minors, I don't think I've ever seen it. |
It's almost like you've got a bunch of minor league All-Stars together. It's awesome. Most of these guys were probably going to be on a major-league team anyway. Now we have a chance to all be on the same team. |
It's been awesome, man. I don't know what to say about it. I guess the best thing I can say is just to be here and be part of this team and be in a race and be able to contribute, I don't think there's a better feeling than that. |
It's definitely an exciting day for me, ... It's a great feeling. I can't put it into words. |
It's exciting. I watched him growing up, ... This whole experience is exciting. |
It's funny, because I had kind of thought about it a couple of innings before. I was hoping I'd get that last out. I wanted to be able to give him the ball. When I caught the last out, I was thinking, 'I'm not letting go of this ball. I'm going to give it to Joe. |
It's in the realm of operating systems that the most troublesome problems exist, |
It's just exciting to face a guy like that, and obviously, hitting a home run's pretty cool. I think the biggest thing is what it meant for us yesterday. Just to be a part of that was awesome. |
It's kind of funny, you go to state tournaments and you never know who is watching. After we went to state, schools started to contact Jennifer and she made some recruiting visits before settling on Lipscomb. |
