guy obviously pennant problem wait
Doug's been here all year, so obviously he's the guy that's going to play, especially being in a pennant race, ... I'm a young guy and I still have to wait for my turn. But I have no problem with that.
guys night ready
With all the things I've been able to do up here so far, to be able to do that, it's awesome. It was a long night ...and I think the guys were ready to get out of here.
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.
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.
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.
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.
bottom excited game line win
You get a little more excited for a game like this and when you do well it makes you feel good. But the bottom line is we didn't win the game and that's what we're here to do and not make one person feel good.
feeling great happy obviously situation
I was obviously happy for the guy. To get called up and be put in a situation like that and be able to come up big like that is awesome. It must've been a great feeling for him because I know it was for me.
closest national
I think he's the closest we've had to a national figure.
dollars economic federal finally greater mean positive share wisconsin
I think it would have a positive economic impact. I think it would mean Wisconsin would finally get a greater share of where the federal dollars are spent.
help
With me being new to the position, he can help show me a lot of different stuff. That's right up my alley.
hit
I don't think you can do anything with the numbers. You still have to have hand-eye coordination. You still have to hit the ball.
learn personal situation veteran
I don't know too much about the situation and I don't get into personal stuff, ... But just to see a veteran going through what he's going through, you always learn from that.
