advantage best blessing few guys last playing stay support time trying
I've been playing the last few days, that's a blessing also. I'm just trying my best to take advantage of it. When it's time for me to take a break, I'll support the other guys to try and win. I'll stay ready.
marketing needs polo public reason trying watch
I thought it was great. International Polo is trying a lot of different marketing techniques. And that's what polo needs. It needs to be more of a public sport. There's no reason in the world why everyone in the world shouldn't come watch it.
bit face guys high school trying
I was working out with those guys and trying to face a little live pitching. They're high school guys, but, hey, a little bit (of work) is a little bit (of work).
ball contact nice trying
I was just trying to make contact and put that ball in play. When you do that, nice things can happen.
best help kick kicked month team trying
I haven't really thought about it. It hasn't really kicked in. I'm trying not to let it kick in. It's still the first month of the season. We've still got a long way to go. We're trying to make the playoffs. We're trying to win. I'm trying to go out there and just do my part and my best to help the team win.
bunt compete guys happy move trying
I can bunt to move guys and to get hits. We're trying to compete and win. I was happy because I'm trying to do anything.
ball course good hits might rather trying walk
I'm just going up there trying to have good ABs. If I get a ball that I can hit, I'm going to swing. If not, I'll walk. Of course I'd rather get hits than walks, that's just anybody. But if the walk is there, you might as well be able to take it.
paying trading
It was trading at $13, they're paying $18. That's not bad.
last road winning
There's nothing better than going on the road after winning like this on the last day.
bad basically paid swing tried yesterday
Yesterday was a bad day for us. We had to make up for that day and basically went out there and tried to swing the bats. Obviously, it really paid off.
guys tough
We've got power, guys who can run. It's a tough lineup.
ball felt grand hit
That was my first ever grand slam. I never even hit one in little league. It really felt good. I just have to find someone to give the ball to other than myself.
behind blessed good
I was blessed to have a good start. I want to put it behind me and have another good week.

We played at a birthday party that one of our friends was throwing for his wife. It was two bands and six strippers. And I didn't know it beforehand, but the show was outdoors on the porch of the bar.
