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.

(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.
ball confidence felt game gives good gotten great hit honest solid
It felt good just to hit a ball solid like that. To feel it go out of the stadium, to be honest with you, kind of gives you the confidence that you can play the game again. It would have been great if we could have gotten the win.

It was just a lot of fun. The chance to be able to play in your hometown and to be able to accomplish some of the things I did was awesome.

It was like everything in Atlanta was brighter; the ball just looked so big I couldn't believe it. I just got locked in. Every pitch looked like a beach ball coming in there.

None of it's hit me, ... After the season I'll look back at it but right now I'm taking it day by day.

No matter what happens, I'm just happy to be selected to this roster. But I'd love to play and have 'USA' across my chest.

It was a great thing in high school, ... That's another part of my life.
ball bringing great happening hit love matter nice people purity seemed time
It seemed like 30 (home runs) didn't even matter for years. So I think what's happening is great for the game. We are bringing the purity back. I know people love to see the ball hit 600 feet, but at the same time it's always nice to see a 2-1 game. That's real baseball.
earn home knew win
We wanted to be able to win on our home field, ... We knew we had it, but at the same time, we wanted to earn it.

Bobby always fires us up. You know how the fans are with Bobby, they love him to death. When he gets going, they get going. It just seemed perfect.
couple double fought hit impressive needed runners
What was impressive was that we fought back. Even a couple of times we had runners at first or second, we hit into a couple of double plays, we were still able to come back and do what we needed to do and that's promising.
hurt tender
Doc said I was real lucky. About a centimetre over it could have been broken, so I feel fortunate. It hurt bad. At first, it's such a tender bone, it just hurt so much.
