ball felt goal good matter team
I felt good at the plate, I was able to put the ball in play, ... My goal is to win. It doesn't matter how I do. I want to do well, but I just want the team to win.
ball hit score today
We can score a lot of runs, we know that. As a team, we know we can go out there and hit the ball well. Today was one of those days.
affected ball city experience good hit hole hurt knowing learning steal time took year
When I got hurt this year I feel that really affected me, took a lot away from me. I wasn't able to steal bases. Every time I hit the ball in the hole I wasn't able to run. I just couldn't run. It's kind of frustrating because you feel like you would have done a better job. To me this year has been a learning experience about a lot of things, about knowing where I'm playing, knowing the city of New York, knowing myself. I feel good with it.
balls continue hard hit hitting matter sooner time turn
It will turn around sooner or later. At the end of the day, it doesn't matter how hard you hit the ball. You need to get results. At the same time, I know I've been hitting balls hard right at people. I'm just going to continue to do my thing. As long as we continue to win, I just know my time will come.
ballpark feels game great mean
It just feels great to come out to the ballpark and have every game mean something.
ball control game gap good hit outfield pinch playing
I can be under control as a pinch hitter. But playing the outfield is different. It would look no good if someone hit a ball into the gap with the game on the line.
disservice fans
We would be doing a disservice to our fans not to look at the opportunity.
hit remember
I don't remember anything of what happened. I don't remember how it happened, I know we got hit. I feel like I got hit by a train.
based confront handle life might says trying
Everything he says is based on his life and what he's been through in his career. He was trying to let us know how to handle things we might confront in our careers.
continue finish hard season
We just need to continue to play hard and finish the season strong.
advantage gets looks pitcher pressure quick
To me, he looks more comfortable now. With him, if he gets on base, he can put pressure on the pitcher and they try to be too quick to the plate. When that happens, they can make a mistake, and we can take advantage of that.
bat run swing swinging
I can hit. I feel like I can swing the bat. I just feel like I can't run 100 percent. Swinging the bat is no problem. Just running.
difficult injuries last year
I am strong. Last year was a very difficult year. When you don't do well and go through many injuries like I did last year, mentally, you've got to be strong. I feel like I had that.
happy since spring training
Since spring training I feel better. I feel happy to be here and relaxed.
