game
You know, we can make a game interesting.
early game matter pick talent
It's just a matter of getting that big hit. We just haven't done it in the clutch, and that's what this game is all about. We are 1-4 and it is early in the season. But we need to pick it up. There is too much talent in this clubhouse.
consistent field games overall playing start
We are not out of it yet. We still have a lot of games to play but we need to start playing day in and day out, having more consistent at-bats and playing more consistently in the field and being overall more consistent as a team.
affair game great love
They know the game of baseball. They've been in every game. It's been a great love affair for us so far.
games giving
This is September. We can't be giving at-bats away and giving games away.
game good guys last ninth
In the dugout, I think there was good spirits. I think guys were back to where we were before the ninth inning last night. This was our game to win.
batting calmed feeling game mentally practice quite swing
I feel all right, my swing just doesn't feel quite right. In batting practice you can get away with a lot of stuff, but a game is different. I just want to get it calmed down and have the feeling mentally that I can go out and perform.
people shock
I've been in this organization, the Montreal/Nationals organization, from the onset of it. It's just a shock that I'm not going to be with the same organization, the same people I've been around my whole career. That's going to be different.
driving good guys job patient
We did a good job of being patient. Wakefield didn't have good command, and we did a good job of being patient and getting good swings. If we get on base, these guys do a job of driving us home.
easily
We could have very easily folded the way things are going.
playing realize time
We've got to realize what we're playing for. Now's the time to want it.
broader chance everybody great involved items purchase
give everybody a broader sense of where they can come in and get involved and have a chance to purchase some great items for a great cause.
beat supposed
If we play the we are supposed to play, we can beat anybody. We just aren't doing that right now.
experience forward hard home learning looking next percent ready season took work
I did some different things mechanically that took me a while to get out of. I'm looking forward to getting back and getting 100 percent for next year. I'm going to look at this season as, hopefully, a learning experience and go home and work as hard as I have been in the offseason and get ready for next year.
