Absolutely, he's our guy, |
Actually, I think the biggest at-bat of that whole inning was Quintero's, ... He got the single up the middle, and we went first-to-third there. Now, we got first and third and nobody out. We got pressure on them. That was a big spot in the game to come up with that hit up the middle with two strikes. |

All I can tell him is that people are praying for him and that's the biggest thing that got me through. |
He was throwing every pitch for a strike, and he threw it at the right spot. |
He went through many struggles last year. There no doubt he's the MVP of this team. He might get some votes for MVP of the league. He's been huge. |
I did miss it last year as far as being out on the field, but I did get to witness it on the bench, and that's better than nothing. It's obviously a lot more gratifying than watching. |
I was going to glove it at first, and when it hit it kind of checked up, and the next thing that went through my head was (to) make sure the ball doesn't go underneath my hand because the guy could score. I just happened to get a great grip on the ball and threw the guy out. |
I was trying to put a good swing on a pitch. I was trying to give myself a chance to drive in some runs. I'm trying to stay more consistent and get my bat through the zone a little bit better and give myself a chance. |

I'm just trying to stay more in the middle of the field, to give myself a better chance. I was struggling a little bit early in the game -- trying to find it a little bit. That time, I got a pitch and finally swung at it good. It's just one of things that went my way. |
I'm sure he's getting a billion phone calls. I'm sure he's savoring the moment. |
It takes all nine of us hitting in the lineup. Chris and I knew we are better hitters than what we've been showing. |
It was my first time and you don't know how to take that. Whether it's going to be career threatening or if it's something that you got to have surgery on where you might not be able to play. It was luckily something that could be taken care of. |
It was probably one of the greatest double plays ever turned. |
