Especially being in the middle of the lineup with Ryan behind me, if I get on base, that could be an easy two runs right there. We can definitely hit home runs, but you have to win games in other ways, too.
You're not trying to hit home runs off that kind of guy, you're just trying to put the ball in play and make things happen, and I think we did a good job of that,
Hitting at the top of the order is a good thing. You get more at-bats. I'm excited to see how this develops.
We were mounting a comeback, the crowd was intense and we were fired up at the time. I hit that ball really well, just not well enough. What are you going to do?
This is a great place to hit. There's a great (hitters') background, and the ball definitely travels. There are a lot of hits out there.
I'm more excited than anything just to be around those guys, guys who are winners and are very successful. It will only help. They're winners, they've won batting titles.
It was good to see him. I forget even what I said, but it was good to see him.
We were down in the game by a lot, but we still had that fire. We were rooting for him big time.
We knew Houston had lost today. We wanted to get it, and somehow we did.
I still don't think we've clicked as an offense. We can still do a better job. We're all going to get going at some point.
I still don't think we've clicked as an offense. I think we can do a better job. If we all get going, it could be fun.
It was very exciting. I knew the game was out of reach at that point, but it was fun to watch. It's all about being positive and taking something out of a loss. We'll take that, relax on the day off and be ready for Wednesday.
Any loss like that is devastating. Especially with five games to go.
It was weird seeing him in a different uniform. But it was nice to see him again.
