(The pitchers) actually threw more strikes when I went to Triple-A. As long as you can lay off the stuff they were trying to get you to swing at, then you got your pitches to hit. |
I still have a lot of improvements to make, but I'm very excited to have the opportunity. |
I was already set up with a place to live in Louisville. All that is put on hold. |
It was a big thrill for them. I took a peek up there after I crossed home plate, and they were all jumping up and down. It was great. |
It was a total surprise. I had a place to live in Louisville and everything. It was a shock. I just have to get as ready as I can and try to stay up here for a while. |
It was a tough loss, but you've still got to give credit to our pitching staff. They've held us together for the first couple of weeks. Once we start holding our own as an offense, we're going to be a pretty strong team. |
It's a good sign that we're starting to score runs in bunches. |
It's always tough. I'll go down and play and try to tear it up there. |
It's great. I had no idea why they called me in [Friday]. It was like they dropped a bombshell. I took the scenic route, but I'm really excited. |
It's just really an overall feeling of joy. That's the only thing I can say. I feel like I'm a little kid again, playing Little League for the first time. |
