Leading off an inning you never know, I could get a bunt base hit and start a rally.

If I don't get hits, I don't get hits, but I'm trying to get hits.

Obviously, being a first baseman, you're kind of expected to hit some home runs. Obviously, that goes into your head; it gets into my head a little bit.

They said if I could deal with the pain, I should play. So, I did, and for some reason, I started hitting. It was a weird thing. I don't know if it was because I couldn't do too much, and I was just trying to stay up through the middle and not hurt myself.

I'm going to go out there and just keep trying to get better.

You're going to be friends with people longer than you're going to be teammates in this game.
