across almost days games gets halfway heck hitting looked
That's one heck of a long hitting streak. When I looked back after the season, it was like, 'Wow, that's 36 days of working to be successful, but he did it for 20 more games.' It's almost unimaginable that someone can even hit in that many games straight, but here I am across the halfway point. This is when it gets tough.
definitely game last trying ways win
It's something that is new around here, definitely in the last year. We were still trying to find ways to win and, if not win, how to make the game closer.
five game good mind six waiting
I've been waiting five or six months, so I didn't mind waiting. It was good to get the first game out of the way.
base games larry run score until
I had no idea until Larry Andersen told me the other day. I don't even know when it started. I do know the first 10-12 games I only was getting one hit, but it was in big situations. I try to get on base and score a run at least once a game. If I do that, I feel like I've done my job.

We know we have the talent to win. We know we can beat a lot of the teams we're going to face.
good playing supposed
We're playing good ball. That's what we're supposed to do.
broken chase focused good meant opportunity records
Records are meant to be broken and it's good to have an opportunity to chase them. But I'm more focused on how we do as a team.
happiness happy satisfied triple
I was happy I got a triple -- not that I wouldn't have been satisfied with anything,
feels good win
It feels good to win two in a row. That's something new around here. That's just the beginning.
everybody hopefully man opportunity relish wants
That's what I'm here for, to hopefully do something special, something that hasn't been done in a long time. If that happens, that's fine. Everybody wants to be that man at least once in their career. If I have an opportunity to do that, I'm going to relish it.
