Preston Wilson Quotations

When you're able to come back in the fashion that we did, it breeds confidence.

Of course, the last-place team went through adversity, too.

More than anything you just try to feel comfortable out there. Right now it's not about getting hits I want to feel like I am accomplishing what I want to out there.

He's picked us up all year. It's time for us to pick him up a little bit.

I think the more we study and pay attention to what guys are doing, we might be able to pick up tendencies and might be able to do the little things a little bit better.

Right now, whatever the reason, we are not doing enough to win consistently and we have to definitely try to put it together so we can win consistently, because we have a great opportunity staring us in the face and it would be a shame to let it get away.

That's what it's all about this time of year. You just have to outlast everybody. Everybody's tired, everybody's team is beat up and banged up, and you've just got to outlast them. Today we did pretty good at doing that.

We have a lot of guys up and down the lineup here that can do a lot of things. Hopefully, with this lineup guys can take the pressure off of each other.

We came to that conclusion a long time ago that, financially speaking, there was little possibility of protecting the entire ranch with state dollars. In the real world, I think we got as good an outcome as we could get.

You don't get too many chances at it. It was definitely something that you think about. If it was close, you try to stretch the hit out.

You don't get too many chances at a cycle, so it's definitely something that you think about,

It's a good situation. It's a team that's confident in what they're doing, and they believe in themselves.

It's good to feel like you're going to get rewarded for a certain kind of style of play. But at the same time, keeping track of numbers, things like that, can get you distracted.

It's nice to score a few runs early. I think it put our pitchers in a situation where they didn't have to pitch error-free, and hopefully we'll do some more of that for them this year.

Everybody's starting to come together, ... and believe that other teams aren't better than us.

It was nice to contribute and feel like I did something positive.

Oh, man, it doesn't bother me anymore. I've been around for a long time now, and it's not like I haven't been doing my job.

It was just nice to get the win so we could all go to bed.

I'm excited to see them get their rings and show it to me so I can see what it looks like and hopefully get a chance to earn one myself.

I like it here - I don't like the pitchers here. As long as I don't have to face those guys, I'll be all right.

I had checked swings at a couple of pitches early. I got myself behind. I was able to stay in the at-bat long enough until I was able to get the hit.

Hopefully I'll spread (the homers) around a little bit.

Hopefully, everybody's focus is more on the game, or the pitcher that we are facing, or the hitters that we are facing,

I caught a big one right at the end. I don't think it was much up to me. I think I just got lucky.

You can underestimate the importance of playing every day. I've learned that the hard way.
