I'm a superstitious guy, but I'm not to that point,
best bunt face felt figured game hit last moment needed time tried
I felt like it was a big enough moment in the game where we needed to get something going. Right when I hit it, I figured it was one of my best bunts ever. I was a little shocked. The last time I tried to bunt I got hit in the face last year.
ball felt hardest maybe sure
I felt like that was the hardest ball I've ever hit. Maybe it's because I haven't been hitting, but it sure felt like it.
bobby easy lets pressure puts
It's easy for all the rookies. We come out here and Bobby lets us play. He never puts any pressure on us.
fun guys trying win
It's fun because a lot of young guys have come up in this division. We're all trying to do the same thing, and that's win a title.
great
A lot of us wanted to play for the Braves, ... It's great to be a part of it now and be part of the tradition.
emphasis game
You don't want to look at one game and put too much emphasis on it,
ball felt opposite took
(I) took one the opposite way, finally, ... It felt good. I felt like I've been able to see the ball better. If you do that, you're going to be able to hit.
beach came guess hopefully last ok problems scary time
It was scary at first, but everything came out OK. I thought everything was OK from the Myrtle Beach injury, but I guess not. Hopefully that's the last time I'll have any problems with it.
awesome
It was awesome to be able to be a part of this.
ahead series swept team win
It's a big win -- no doubt. We don't want to get swept two series in a row, especially by the team that's ahead in our division. Hopefully, this will give us some confidence.
front guys pitcher rather rookie
When you've got guys like Andruw (Jones), Chipper (Jones), Julio (Franco) and Marcus (Giles) in front of you, you have some RBI chances. A pitcher doesn't want to pitch to those guys. He'd rather pitch to a rookie any day.
guys knock people won
We've won 14 in a row, and people always want to knock you off. You use that as motivation. You don't want to be the guys who lose.
behind believe dugout nobody
When we got behind 8-0, nobody in the dugout could believe it.
