ball chance experience home hopefully next starting stay ultimate winter year
Obviously, that's still the ultimate goal, to be here and stay here. I'm going to go home in the offseason and I'm going to play winter ball and get some experience down there, and hopefully next year I'll have the chance to win a starting job.
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.
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.
bases describe felt hear hit home walking
You can't really describe it. It's like walking on air. After I hit my home run, I felt like I didn't hear anything and just jogged around the bases ... it's unexplainable.
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.
ride
I'm going to ride this as long as I can.
puts start three
It was a big boost. When you start off with three runs, it puts them on the defensive.
operating problems realm systems
It's in the realm of operating systems that the most troublesome problems exist,
definitely exciting great
It's definitely an exciting day for me, ... It's a great feeling. I can't put it into words.
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.
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.
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.
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.
