You're going to bat so many times during a season and it's not worth getting mad about. I still get frustrated, but I try not to let the other team know that.

I could care less if people talk about us or not. We know what we can do here. It's an exciting time for us.

It took us a little while, but we swung the bats well tonight.

You try to take it game-to-game and keep working.

I'm definitely not the most graceful person out there. I've always been taught to play hard. I don't know how not to play hard. But for some guys it just looks easier. For me, it's not that natural.

The majority of the time with two strikes I'll choke up on the bat a little bit to try to stay as short as possible. It doesn't always work out like that, but that's the goal.

I didn't go up to the plate thinking, 'OK, my goal now is to get a hit'-I tried not to think about [the streak].
