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

Both guys had great stuff. Everything was low and sinking, and that can make it hard.

I appreciate it because I realize the things individuals go through to get to that opportunity. I feel so blessed. I'm thankful for that opportunity, but really, in some ways, you have to put it all behind you and you have to go out there and compete and play the game and find a way to get things done for the team.

Of course there's pressure. I know it's been a long time since the Cubs have produced any good position players, but that's not our fault. We just have to do what we're capable of doing. Hopefully, five or 10 years down the road, we can look back and say, 'See what we started?' But for now, we have to live in the moment and help the Cubs win this season.

Two years ago, Frank Doyle came into the Harvard game in the third period in Albany [to replace Jimmy Howard]. You've got to be ready for everything.

I am really looking forward to seeing Molly, Morgan, and Kelsey run.
