I have to keep running. If I’m not 100 percent, I still have to get out there and go,

We all probably needed a second look to see what exactly is going on, and now we will know and we will take the necessary steps. I am confident that what (team trainers) are telling...

To watch what Paul has done in this series … wow. It’s been fun to watch. We like our chances with guys on base and him at the plate.

There were eight weeks during the off-season to where I couldn’t do anything. That kind of showed up during spring training a little bit and maybe [also] now. I just feel like I didn’t have...

I walked to the plate trying to get on base,

When you have a chance, you’ve got take it, you can’t just wait around for something to happen. You’ve got to make it happen.

I don’t know what to tell you. I feel fortunate.

I can get more accomplished staying back here, being able to hit every inning. Just get some more game-time at-bats rather than going to Atlanta. It’s a more controlled environment where I don’t really have...

Incredible. What a ballgame. I was sitting on a fastball the entire at-bat.

The guy is just a lot of fun to watch. We like our chances with runners on base and him at the plate.
