definitely exciting great
It's definitely an exciting day for me, ... It's a great feeling. I can't put it into words.
game
I told Pedro thanks. I've never been part of a game that was this exciting.
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.
games job trying win
We've still got games to play and we still have the job of going out trying to win games.
ownership period quite wait
We're in for a period of uncertainty as we wait for new ownership to emerge, I really don't feel unwanted. I think there's going to be quite a lot of interest.
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.
far
Awesome. Just all the things I've been able to do so far up here, and just to be able to do that too is just awesome.
believe edgar race scandal talk
I think the MSI scandal will keep Edgar out of the race. You want to talk about that? Believe me, we'll talk all about that.
few games leagues obviously year
I was just kind of like, 'Wow, you know, that's pretty tight. That's awesome. I had a few multihomer games this year down in Double-A, but obviously doing it in the big leagues is so much more special.
ball gets hold incredible saw strong whenever
He's got incredible skills. He's as strong as anybody. Whenever he gets a hold of a ball you saw what he can do.
few games leagues obviously year
I had a few multihomer games this year down in Double-A, but obviously doing it in the big leagues is so much more special,
awesome great hanging helping pumped team waiting
I don't know how you look at it, ... It's just awesome that it happened. It was great for me, I was pumped I was helping the team out, and then - that's it. Now I'm just hanging out waiting to help.
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.
definitely hitting next settle taught
I definitely think hitting is contagious. I think if you get a hit, that makes you greedier. You want to get a hit in your next at-bat. I've been taught you can't settle for just one hit in a game. If you have two, you want to have three. If you have three, you want to have four. But I definitely think hitting is contagious, just like winning.
