Matt Holliday Game Quotations

I've been working on timing and getting my hands in the right position, just trying to get that feel back. It's hard to explain. You can do it in batting practice and you can do it in the cage, but to get in the game and to be able to settle your nerves a little bit and get in that mode when you can still get your swing off when the velocity picks up and you start facing off-speed pitches. I'm trying to find that rhythm, that timing.

You have to look past the cool things and play the game. That's why you're here, to play the game.

I'm not a guy that sets a number of goals. If I can go out and continue to have a consistent approach every day and get to where I feel comfortable enough. Then I go into a game, relax and play, the numbers will take care of themselves.

Personally, it felt good, but this is a team. It's a team game and to do your job is gratifying, to do things to help your team win is gratifying and I was able to do that tonight.
