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.
clearing create hope identify players pull rather
The hope for me is to try and create a clearing ground, where rather than just go back with two players from this trip, I'll be able to identify players that I can pull every year.
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.
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.
certain facial manager wants
I don't have too much facial hair, so unfortunately for me, it's not an option. If the manager has certain things he wants his way, you have to go with it.
