double fills home line looks next short
It's a lot of home runs, I think, in a short time. And it looks like a lot more than nine. It's double digits. That makes it special. It fills up the line next to your name.
almost bunch chance guys league minor team
It's almost like you've got a bunch of minor league All-Stars together. It's awesome. Most of these guys were probably going to be on a major-league team anyway. Now we have a chance to all be on the same team.
great happy team
It was awesome. I was happy for the team. It was a big team win. We pitched well and we had great defense.
game
I told Pedro thanks. I've never been part of a game that was this exciting.
driving field game leagues plays runs
The big leagues to me this game is no different than a Double-A, Triple-A game. We still have to play the game the right way, and it's making plays on the field and driving in runs when you get the chance.
biggest exciting face guy hitting home meant
It's just exciting to face a guy like that, and obviously, hitting a home run's pretty cool. I think the biggest thing is what it meant for us yesterday. Just to be a part of that was awesome.
experience growing watched
It's exciting. I watched him growing up, ... This whole experience is exciting.
league major opportunity playing seen six
It's a very big opportunity. You don't see an opportunity like this come up in major league baseball. In the six years I've been playing in the minors, I don't think I've ever seen it.
advantage guys huge minor opportunity preach time
It's a huge opportunity, ... A lot of guys don't get the opportunity to play here. They preach to you all the time in the minor leagues, that when you get here, you have to take advantage of it. I feel like I'm doing that.
crest feet reach specific wider
They used to say very specific things like, 'The crest will reach 49 feet at this time.' Now they give a wider range.
best feeling guess race team
It's been awesome, man. I don't know what to say about it. I guess the best thing I can say is just to be here and be part of this team and be in a race and be able to contribute, I don't think there's a better feeling than that.
believe
I still don't even believe I'm here and I'm playing.
burnt looked
I started smelling burnt rubber. I looked around, and (the kitchen) was just smoke-filled.
definitely hop left stretched took
I definitely think I should have made it. It took a little hop to the left and I stretched too early.
