hit trade
I said I'd trade a hit for a win. Unfortunately it didn't happen.
hello liked smiles
I said hello to him. He always smiles at me and I smile back. I always liked Larry.
I said, 'Cool, I got some more bats,'
attention brought opportunity prove star
It brought a lot of attention to me. All they (the other star shortstops) had more than me was time, especially in the playoffs, to prove themselves. I haven't had that opportunity yet.
happiness happy satisfied triple
I was happy I got a triple -- not that I wouldn't have been satisfied with anything,
feels good win
It feels good to win two in a row. That's something new around here. That's just the beginning.
everybody hopefully man opportunity relish wants
That's what I'm here for, to hopefully do something special, something that hasn't been done in a long time. If that happens, that's fine. Everybody wants to be that man at least once in their career. If I have an opportunity to do that, I'm going to relish it.
broken chase focused good meant opportunity records
Records are meant to be broken and it's good to have an opportunity to chase them. But I'm more focused on how we do as a team.
sick year
Keep him sick all year long. I have this new virus, Ryan, I want you to try it.
watch
I got things to do. I'm not going to watch baseball, I play it.
again came found good spot
I got it on the right spot (of the bat), but it just came off soft. Marquis is a good athlete, period. We found that out again with what he did at the plate.
gloves good guys paid rewarded swings
I had two good swings there. That's part of baseball. You don't get rewarded for good swings all the time. You have guys there with gloves and that's what they're paid to do is get you out.
cage coach four good hits hitting personal plate runs swings worked
I had two good swings (in the first four plate appearances), so I went back to the cage and worked with my personal hitting coach Shane Victorino on my swing some more. We put up just enough hits and runs for me to get another at-bat.
start streak winning
I?d like to start another streak. But we need to start a winning streak first. That is most important.
