came casual credit fans front game halfway interested left matter office people seventh team winning
It's not a casual thing for the fans here anymore. Before, people came halfway through the game and left by the seventh inning, no matter the score. It's a credit to the front office that they have put a winning team on the field, and the people are interested in what happens.
matter people
With this club, it doesn't matter where you hit. You're going to have people on base, one through nine.
attitude dealing everyday matter
You've got to keep an everyday player's attitude to play this game. It's just going to be a matter of dealing with the disappointment of not being able to play every day.
challenges definitely rise
Every year, we go through challenges. With my dad, it was what I was going through. As a professional player, you have to rise above, you can't use it as an excuse. It was definitely on my mind, but I wouldn't put it as a reason. I just didn't hit.

We went out there trying hard. Unfortunately, we're not in the business of trying. We're in the business of doing.

I was trying to make sure I was within protocol within the team, and trying not to disturb anybody. They were not going to stop, so I sort of looked at Joe and said, 'Can I do this?' and he said, 'Yes.' It was a great moment, and I appreciate it a lot.

I was trying to make sure I was within protocol.

I was hoping that I could do something to redeem myself.

I think I had a good jump on that one. Not a bad first day. Hopefully I was able to raise some eyes and show a little of what I'm able to do in the outfield.
felt great people playing saying series special
It felt like I was playing in the World Series in March. It's a great feeling. There's something very special about playing for my country, in my hometown, with people saying my name.
