(I) took one the opposite way, finally, ... It felt good. I felt like I've been able to see the ball better. If you do that, you're going to be able to hit. |
A lot of us wanted to play for the Braves, ... It's great to be a part of it now and be part of the tradition. |
All I wanted was a number, ... I couldn't care less what number they gave me. |
Baseball doesn't make sense. I'll never get this game, and I'm never going try to figure it out. I'm just going to have fun every night and play as hard as we can. |
Bobby always fires us up. You know how the fans are with Bobby, they love him to death. When he gets going, they get going. It just seemed perfect. |
Doc said I was real lucky. About a centimetre over it could have been broken, so I feel fortunate. It hurt bad. At first, it's such a tender bone, it just hurt so much. |
He just told me to keep playing hard and make sure that I'm a better man off the field than I am on it, |
He might think, What the heck did that guy just swing at? But he's not going to say it to you when you come back. I'm sure he's thinking it. |
I can't wait to get out there and feel what it's like to be out there. |
I can't worry about that kind of stuff. I'm not going to. You can't just say you're going to be patient. The way I see it, you figure that stuff out. |
I didn't know until today, ... I thought it was going to be an article. I didn't know it was going to be that big of a deal. |
I don't think I'll realize what's going on until after the season, ... Then I can sit back and look at it and say, 'Wow, what a ride it's been.' |
I feel like lately I've been able to see it better. I'm waiting for my pitches again. When you do that, most of the time you'll hit. |
I felt like it was a big enough moment in the game where we needed to get something going. Right when I hit it, I figured it was one of my best bunts ever. I was a little shocked. The last time I tried to bunt I got hit in the face last year. |
I felt like that was the hardest ball I've ever hit. Maybe it's because I haven't been hitting, but it sure felt like it. |
