Let's get those left-field bleacher boys ready to go. I had a great time in right last year, but left field is where it's always been.

It's gonna be awesome to see him out there. He's just looked incredible in batting practice, so it's gonna be fun to see him take that out onto the field.
break hit hurts trying
It's been awhile, ... It was great. ... I wasn't trying to think much today. Just see it and hit it. Sometimes you break it down too much and it hurts you. I think that's what I've been doing.
chance excited exciting guys hit maybe seven six
It's the old-school A's. I think there are six or seven guys who have a chance to hit 20 homers in that lineup, and maybe more. It's really exciting to see what's going to happen. I'm juiced and I know everyone else is excited too.
almost emerge last
It's almost like last year. We're right on the verge. We'll get things going. But for everyone in the AL West, it's the same thing right now. Someone is going to emerge from it, and hopefully, it's us.

You tip your hat. That was an unbelievable pitch. All I can say is it wasn't our night.

against both command extra nasty plate sides tonight tough using
His command of both sides of the plate was ridiculous. He really has a nasty cutter, and he was using it well against righties and lefties. He's tough enough as it is, and tonight he was extra tough.

best curve fastball good pitcher seen sit
He's the best young pitcher I've seen this season. You couldn't sit on his fastball because he had such a good curve and a change. And his fastball moved. He was tough.
hurt leg typical
I don't know if his leg was hurt or not, ... All of a sudden, we were like, 'What's going on here?' But that's just typical A's baseball, you know?
check ellis mark nobody turn tv words
There are no words or anything you can say. Nobody thought Mark Ellis could do this. For those who don't know who he is, they better turn on the TV and check him out.
proud riding
We battled to get in this spot, and we've got to feel proud about what we've accomplished, ... We just want to keep it going right now; we just need to keep riding that wave.
comeback hot player year
When you see someone get as hot as he's been, it's usually for one or two weeks. He's been doing it for two months. If he doesn't get the Comeback Player of the Year award, it's just ridiculous. No one else should be in the running.
