Huge. He's been huge for me, absolutely. I was very fortunate to have him with me and have him have my back. What a guy to have your back. Any questions I have, he's always open to you what he thinks, even when you don't ask. |
I don't think I could run those bases fast enough to get into the dugout. Seeing guys like Jimmy [Edmonds] greeting me at the front of the steps, [Chris Carpenter] and all the big name guys were right up there. It's pretty nice to see that. |
I'm not a five-tool guy or anything, so the one thing I can control is playing hard. |
It's getting down to the wire but you shouldn't put any more added pressure than there is already. You try to get noticed when you're a rookie, and playing hard is how you get noticed around here. |
The guy is nasty, so I'm just waiting to get a good pitch to hit. I had to take my at-bat differently than during the middle of the game. |
