came finish focus needed plan roll second win
We came out with the plan and focus that we needed to win to keep our roll going. In the first half, we did what we needed to do, but in the second half, we experimented with some things. I was disappointed that we didn't finish some things in the second half.

We still found a way to win. I'm very pleased with the resiliency this team has shown this season.

We are looking for him to lead by example and put his experience to the test this year.
bit decent dove feeling looking pass start strike took
I had a feeling he was going to start with a slider, try to get a strike away. It dove away, and I took a decent pass at it. And then, yeah, from there, I could have tightened it down a little bit more. He was looking for me to chase, which I did.
belonged best good happier leagues life sent shape swing uniform whatever year
Every year is different. In the past, I thought I belonged in the big leagues even when I got sent down. This year I know it's where I belong, and I'm still going down to Memphis. It doesn't make me any happier to go, but I'm in the best shape of my life and I feel like I've got my swing in pretty good shape right now. I'm confident, whatever uniform I put on every day. That's not going to change.
baseball head played playing
I just put my head down and played hard. Every pitch, every at-bat, I concentrated on playing baseball.
chance chickens count help hopefully knew until
I knew there was a chance, but I don't count my chickens until they hatch. Hopefully I get a chance to help the team.
focus knowing next pitch trying
I'm just trying to focus on every at-bat, every pitch, and not give anything away, but knowing that if I do, on the next pitch I've got to focus even that much more.
pleasing tournament
It was a very pleasing tournament for me.
cards check life quicker seen walked
I've seen enough lineup cards in my life to know that if you're not on it, you're not playing, ... I walked over there probably a little quicker than I usually do to check out the lineup card.
great job seems
It's spectacular. It seems like they did a great job.
Everybody's got a different path. Like I say, there's not a better place to be right now, so I'm happy.
bounce days happened hopefully learn tonight
It was just one of those days when things didn't go right for us. Hopefully we can learn from some of the things that happened tonight and bounce back from them.
