hard national tv whether
Whether or not we were on national TV made no difference. We go out and play hard every game.
farther kept stopped throughout
Throughout the at-bat I just kept going farther and farther. I wanted to see how much they would let me have before they stopped me. They never did, and I told Skins, 'I can take this.

Throughout the at-bat, I just kept going farther and farther, ... I wanted to see how much they would let me have before they stopped me. They never did, and I told Skins, 'I can take this.'
score shut zero
We don't like getting shut out. To score zero is unacceptable. We feel we're a pretty solid-hitting club.
spot year
That's what you play for. You play all year in a lot of games. This is the spot you play for.
spot worry
That's what you play for. You play all year, a lot of games. This is the spot you play for. We know what we can do. We know what we have to do every day. We just worry about ourselves.
believe care compete money
As a player, you don't care about payroll, ... You believe you can compete and it's not about how much money you spend.

I was confused for a second. I didn't know what was going on, ... If they were going to give me a choice, I was going to take the homer over the double.
playing team
I think we got the team that can do it. We just got to keep playing the way we are. We're right where we wanted to be, and now it's up to us.
knew saw tried wait
I saw it. It was right at me. It just got in the sun. I knew it was going to be in the sun. I tried to wait for it to come out and I just never saw it.
against guy
I was just hitting. With two strikes, you just go up there and battle. That's what you do against a guy like Santana -- you battle.
early hopefully seemed soon tough
He's a tough pitcher. You want to come out early and hopefully get him a little rattled. Get the lineup going as soon as you can. It seemed to work.
love pressure
I always feel like that. That's what I love about the game. There's always pressure in baseball.
ball good helped job kept
He just kept the ball down, did a good job, made his pitches. We didn't do a good job making adjustments, so we helped him out a little bit.
