start winning
We need to start a winning streak. That's what's most important.
attention brought opportunity prove star
It brought a lot of attention to me. All they (the other star shortstops) had more than me was time, especially in the playoffs, to prove themselves. I haven't had that opportunity yet.
caught couple helps hotel maybe streak
I don't think about the streak too much, maybe a couple of times in the hotel room. I told myself to not get caught up in it. I have to go out and do it. It helps me not think about it.
crossing goal good looked oxygen ricky time williams
He looked like Ricky Williams crossing the goal line, ... He had nothing left. It was a good time for an oxygen tank.
accustomed playing
Underdog, that's something that we've been accustomed to, playing in Philadelphia. We're always the underdog.
hit whatever
He was real good. Whatever he wanted to throw, he hit it. It was on the black. He didn't mess.
choice front
He was in front of the plate. I didn't have a choice.
watch
I got things to do. I'm not going to watch baseball, I play it.
again came found good spot
I got it on the right spot (of the bat), but it just came off soft. Marquis is a good athlete, period. We found that out again with what he did at the plate.
start streak winning
I?d like to start another streak. But we need to start a winning streak first. That is most important.
gloves good guys paid rewarded swings
I had two good swings there. That's part of baseball. You don't get rewarded for good swings all the time. You have guys there with gloves and that's what they're paid to do is get you out.
cage coach four good hits hitting personal plate runs swings worked
I had two good swings (in the first four plate appearances), so I went back to the cage and worked with my personal hitting coach Shane Victorino on my swing some more. We put up just enough hits and runs for me to get another at-bat.
sick year
Keep him sick all year long. I have this new virus, Ryan, I want you to try it.
allowing couple free good hear opposite perspective swing
He put a couple of things into perspective, allowing me to free my swing up a little more, ... I think it's always good to hear from the opposite end of the spectrum.
