Anytime you give up one run in Coors Field you expect to win a ball game. It just shows how well Myers pitched. |
Anytime you only score 10 runs in Coors Field, you're struggling in hitting, whereas most other places that's about average. |
As much grief as I take the rest of the year, plays like that, you've got to savor them and enjoy them. I've helped the team win with the bat before, but it's nice to do it with the glove. |
By finishing out strong, we know that we have a good chance next season. We had to try to prove it the last month. If we get one or two guys, we're not looking that far ahead. |
I can't try to hit home runs, because I'm not a home run hitter. If you try and do that, you'll get into a slump. When things are going well, I'm hitting line drives. |
I don't expect our fans will react like they do in other places. This isn't a place that throws stuff on the field. The fans are good about that here. I think it will be a good weekend for the fans. |
I had two strikes, so I was looking for something to hit. He left it out over the middle of the plate and I was able to hit it good. |
I've played with a lot of these guys. They know I've had my struggles over there. They say if you keep pushing forward, working hard, plays like that are the reward. |
It is encouraging to see a kid come up and do what he doing. He's got five home runs. That's more than the starting eight combined. You watch him in batting practice, and you know he is a special kind of hitter. |
It just seems like the last three or four days I've been able to keep my legs under me and kind of drive the ball. It's been a long time since I've had six hits and none of them have been singles. |
It's scary anytime you go to a hospital and they don't know what's wrong with you. |
My confidence (defensively) definitely grew as the season went on, and the last month and a half, two months did wonders for my confidence. Being out there every day after the All-Star break was important, especially when I knew I had to prove everybody wrong, which I've been having to do since college. |
Obviously, it's different than what I'm used to. It's a little bit compared to probably most major-league clubhouses. It's nice to see that we're drawing a little bit of attention. You got to start somewhere. |
They stayed away from me pretty much the whole series. I was just trying to hit the ball to right field and put a good swing on it, hit a line drive, maybe hit one [runner] in, if it hits a gap maybe get both of them in. I hit that ball good, but Abreu made a nice play, got a good read on it. I saw him creeping in, and I was like, 'Oh, he's going to catch that.' It's just one of those things. You can't hit a hole every time. |
We all played together coming up. We all know each other, and it's a real good clubhouse. I'd like to think that will translate to the field. |
