I tell myself every night, ‘The season’s not over. You’ve got to battle,’ … You can’t dictate how many RBIs you get from where you hit in the lineup, usually. But you can dictate the...

It’s like the Gatorade commercial, where the guy (marathoner) fell out right before he got to the finish line. It’s not a good feeling.

No, it’s early. I’ll be fine. If I go 4-for-4 tonight I’ll be at .300.

I’m not going to lie, I feel real good right now. It’s something I’ve been working on all year and everything’s starting to come together. Right now, it seems like the field is pretty big...

It’s not a fun way to play. Right now there’s a lot of pressure, and we’ve got to depend on other teams to help us out. That’s not a good way to do it. We...

I had two strikes, and I’m just looking to get the barrel on it and make something happen. I was able to get my arms extended, and good things happen when you put yourself in...

It was nice to face him. We will be doing this for a lot of years.

Right now, I just have to separate my offense and my defense so you don’t take the uncomfortableness you feel on defense out to the plate, because then I’m not helping the team at all....

The momentum definitely shifted at that time. We had the momentum, then they reversed it.

I did a lot of agility drills pretty much every day.

It’s a business. Yeah, I’ve thought about it,

I think it is safe to say he was feeling pretty good about his stuff. He was hitting his spots.

That’s Tony Clark. If there’s anything you need, you go to him. He is like a guru around here. We’re lucky to have him.

I don’t care if it’s the outfield or the infield, … as long as I know what to prepare for. I can make myself a decent outfielder. I can already play the infield. I don’t...

He just said that [Quirk] was sorry because he lost his cool.

Yeah, it is frustrating. But it wasn’t anything we could control. Couns hit a hard line drive right back up the middle.

He was working both sides of the plate. He got a lot of ground balls, got what he needed. He’s had a good year and it seems like he’s been doing it to more than...

We just waited a little too long to get in our groove and play like we were capable of playing all year,

It’s always good to win a ballgame, no matter when it is, especially our last game at home, to win it like that,

You put together 500 at-bats, I think anybody respects somebody who hits .300,

I’m just looking to hit something hard right there. He doesn’t have a whole lot of room to mess around and he doesn’t want to walk me.

It was great, especially since we’ve battled back a couple of times and haven’t been able to close the door. Tonight we got the runs we needed and the pitching we needed.

Right now, his main strength is he can play all three infield positions and two outfield positions. That’s what’s going to make him valuable to our team. If somebody needs a day off or goes...

It doesn’t matter if we lost 1-0 or 10-0. We will try and come back and win the series [Sunday].

I’m not gonna lie, I feel real good right now at the plate, … It’s something that I’ve been working on all year and everything’s just starting to come together and right now, it seems...

I’ve seen miracles happen. We’re going to play these six and see what happens. That’s all you can do.

I played with him in the [2003] Futures Game. He’s fun to have around and a heck of a player. He keeps everyone upbeat in the clubhouse. He’s a great dude.

Right now we’re going to play every game out and we’ll see how the division ends up at the end, … We’re not going to lay down for anybody. We’re still not mathematically out of...

Either one of those corner infield positions is where I’m most comfortable, … Eventually, maybe I’ll be that comfortable in the outfield.

It was a little cutter that was up and out over the plate. I just tried to get the barrel on it and put it into play.

We have to take care of our games. We can’t think about anything else.

It’s something that guys normally do for years before they get comfortable to play at this level, and I’m just trying to hang in there and make the plays that I’m supposed to and bring...

It’s not a fun way to play,

I just look at it as a won ballgame, and I had a part in it, … You don’t win ballgames by yourself.
