Matt Murton Quotations

But I'm not a base stealer. I'll pick my spots. I have enough speed.

Any time you have success in a situation, you have confidence.

Any time you have success in a situation, you gain confidence. A big thing obviously is that you have teammates to get on base to allow you to do that.

I felt I got a good bead, then the wall became a factor late. I was fortunate to get up and catch it.

Hopefully, I want to be a guy who's a good hitter who will have power. I don't want necessarily to be a power hitter. I want to be a good hitter first. ... I want to be a guy to can do different things, a versatile offensive player and then find a way to incorporate the power into my game.

That should, hopefully, be every player's goal -- to get up in those situations and want to come through. When the game is on the line, you bear down more. It doesn't always mean you come through. Something I may have done in the past is try to do too much.

He's a great pitcher. We're fortunate to get some good swings off him.

That's what we're trying to pride ourselves on. We definitely have guys in the middle of the order who can drive the ball, but we realize our role and we're trying to make the most of our offense.

That's what I'm trying to do every time I get up there. I'm still learning how to drive the baseball. Nothing's going to change for me today -- same approach. I'll stay in the middle of the field and work counts and get good strikes to hit and get on base to set up the lineup.

We've got to take the positives out of winning two out of three in this series and move on against a good Milwaukee team.
