expecting preparing surprised
No, I wasn't surprised at all. I show up every day expecting to be in that lineup somewhere. And I think that's the only way I can go about preparing to be at my best.
add package
It is just another package I can add to my toolbox.
good numbers potential
I think I've showed the potential to put up good numbers at this level.
hit homer looking luckily pitch trying zone
I wasn't trying to hit a homer there. I was looking for a pitch in the zone and luckily it went out.
best tail wherever work
Wherever they want me, I'll work my tail off to be the best I can at that position.
add definitely emergency handle
To let them know in an emergency situation, I can definitely handle the job. That's pretty much the way I'm going at it. Something else to add to my resume.
anywhere believes chance manager yard
It's fun. You come to the yard every day and you know that there's a chance to play anywhere in the lineup and the manager actually believes in you to let you do it. That's pretty exciting.
figure hitting pitches run zone
I'm getting pitches up in the zone and hitting them hard. I don't want to figure it out. I just want to run with it.
degrees playing position pros
Every position has its pros and cons, its degrees of difficulty. It's completely different from playing the infield.
anybody ask ball came dig expect games hearts ourselves sure tonight walk win
We got ourselves in some holes. Fortunately tonight we were able to dig ourselves out. I'm sure if you ask anybody around here, you're not going to expect to win too many ball games when you walk that many guys. But they pitched their hearts out and came through with the 'W' for us.
They did that a lot with a lot of their players.
ball came diamond entire fun middle minor played position somewhere start throughout
It was fun. It's the position I played throughout the entire Minor Leagues. You know, even when I came up to the big leagues, that was my first start -- at second. It's a fun position. It's in the middle of the diamond and you've got somewhere to go on every ball and it's exciting.

Seth deserved to win. The offense just wasn't there to support him.
