play guy west-coast
I love Denver. There's not a better place to hit, better place to play. I'm a West Coast guy, so I like playing in the NL West.
years play guy
I am a big guy and happen to play a position that requires you to be relatively quick. I can't let up now. I have to work every day to be better next year.
play trying bats
Every at-bat, I try to hit the ball. I don't like to strike out. I put the ball in play a lot, so I'll take the hits as they come.
trying quality together
I'm trying to put together quality at-bats and hit the ball hard somewhere.

Anytime you only score 10 runs in Coors Field, you're struggling in hitting, whereas most other places that's about average.
bat enjoy grief helped nice plays rest savor team win
As much grief as I take the rest of the year, plays like that, you've got to savor them and enjoy them. I've helped the team win with the bat before, but it's nice to do it with the glove.
anytime hospital scary wrong
It's scary anytime you go to a hospital and they don't know what's wrong with you.
hit hitting home line run
I can't try to hit home runs, because I'm not a home run hitter. If you try and do that, you'll get into a slump. When things are going well, I'm hitting line drives.
days drive four hits last legs none seems since six three time
It just seems like the last three or four days I've been able to keep my legs under me and kind of drive the ball. It's been a long time since I've had six hits and none of them have been singles.
