hit trying
I wasn't trying to think very much today, I was just going up there to see it and hit it, ... Sometimes you can think about it too much.
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.
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.
capable hitters rocking time
Our hitters know what we're capable of doing. It's just going to take us a little time to get rocking and rolling.
ball dictate gives great hit huge left nice pitch players sign swinging
That's a huge sign for me, when I hit the ball out to left field. That gives me a lot of confidence. You just let the pitch dictate what you do. That's something you never see the great players do, over-swing -- I do that, I over-swing. Tonight, I didn't feel like I was swinging hard, just nice and easy.
clutch excited form hits imagined opportunity
I never imagined this when the day started and I wasn't playing, ... I was excited to get the opportunity in that spot. We got so many clutch hits that we needed, especially form our big guys, Kotsay and Chavez.
couple excited soon spring start training
I've been here for a couple weeks. I've been too excited to get back at it, man. Spring Training couldn't start soon enough for me.
enjoy game hard lose man momentum
First one, man, but it's hard to enjoy it when you lose the game. It got us back in the game and I thought there was some momentum shift. I know I was excited.
holy looking
D.J. can flat-out hit, holy smokes. I'm looking for big things from him.
game imagined
That was really neat, ... I never imagined that it would end up that way when the game started.
ahead gives momentum pull road trip win
That was huge. The way things have been going, to pull off a win like we did today, especially with a long road trip ahead of us, it gives us momentum and confidence.
figured heard people sudden time yelling
People were yelling and all of a sudden I heard them. I figured it was time to go.
boys field great last left ready time
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.
check comeback ellis mark name people television turn win
No one ever thought Mark Ellis could do this. He's a name to be remembered. If people don't know who he is, turn on the television and check him out. If he doesn't win comeback player, that's ridiculous.
