A win is a win in our book, and we don't care how we do it. |
Everybody wants to play all the time, and I'm no exception. I want to be out there every day as a competitor and a player. Unfortunately, that's not how it's been. I'm not complaining but at the same time, it's not something I particularly enjoy. |
He hit a bullet and I was able to make the play on a short hop. A few inches over and it would have been past me. |
He threw every pitch that he wanted for strikes. He threw it where he wanted, any count he wanted. As you could tell by some of their swings, he was on today. |

I hope so. I'd like to think that we are maturing a little bit and able to get some things done that we couldn't before. |
I mean, I only missed six games, that's nothing. Six games is not a substantial time at all. And then when I came back, I hit three home runs in three days, so I don't think anything has to do with the injury or the little bit of a setback in Spring Training. |

It ain't easy coming off the bench. That is not going to happen every day, what happened out there today. When you're on the bench, you just cheer for your teammates. When you do get an opportunity to go out there, you've got to take advantage of it. |
It ain't easy coming off the bench. That's not going to happen every day (coming off the bench) what happened out there today. |
It is frustrating, because I've been feeling good at the plate and it's getting closer to the start of the season. We only have 12 games left. It's frustrating, but you can't do anything about it but just try to get back to full strength. |
