When he hit that ball, I didn't react. I didn't react, because I didn't know what to do. I couldn't believe he just did that. So I froze. I just froze.
We're playing a tough team. As you can see, they fought to the last out.
When I come back, I want to be able to help this ballclub, ... Not just be a body on the field. So I've still got to run the bases (in practice), and I've still got to do a couple more things.
Usually, bench players don't get as much time, ... We have to filter them in any way that we can, so they can get those at-bats. So, I hope they can continue to stay as hot as they are, and when we call upon them to go out and play again, they do as well as they did.
Very close. Hopefully get back out there soon, soon. It's just a matter now of getting on the field in a major league game. I'm close. Real close.
What we're trying to do, ... is be as fine-tuned and honed-in on the small things as we can possibly be.
As long as I can play three weeks or so (before the postseason), that would be OK. That would allow me to get the at-bats I want to, hopefully, get back where I was.
That was a ball that just kept carrying, and for me, I didn't want the wall to play me; I wanted to play the wall, ... So I just wanted to jump up and use the wall as a crutch, and that's all I really could do on that particular play.
That game showed a lot of heart. We could've just laid down and accepted it.
You've seen a variety of teams having success and that creates a belief across baseball that if you stick together, great things can happen.
This is under such a big magnifying glass, and everything is heightened, ... There are other times that I've been hot but it's shoved under the table.
This is a team that really gets up for this series, and it's a great series to play in and watch. You definitely can't take the Cubs lightly at all.
This is such a big magnifying glass. Everything is heightened when you come through in key situations. There's been times when I was hot, but it's kind of been shoved under the table. Now, things are finally going in right direction for me.
The most important thing is to key in on your emotions. Look at my first at-bat. My emotions were all over the place.
