There are a couple of other guys here that can play first base and can come in and do the job any time. I just go out there and do the best I can every night. If it doesn't work out, it doesn't work out.

It's amazing in this game, the less you try to do, the better results you have. All I was trying to do was get on base -- whatever, a walk, a chopper, base hit, just to get something going. Then I hit one out of the ballpark. I was shocked.

I'm hurting now. All game I was hurting.

In order for me to hopefully get going, I have to have a quick start, a good, strong start. I like to get out right away. Today I was fortunate enough that a couple of balls landed in there for me.

They're going to expect me to go out there and play better to win games, and I expect that from myself, ... There's no reason for me not to go out there and play at a high level.

That stall play worked. They were able to get the lead on us and we were never able to hit the shots.
