I’ve talked to guys who have played for the Phillies and gone on to other organizations and the grass isn’t always greener on the other side.

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

Before, shortstops and second basemen were mostly defensive guys that made all the plays and didn't really hit that well. But now it's beginning to change a little bit. Now, shortstops and second basemen are very productive in terms of run producing.

I know it sounds stupid and cliche, but I just want to get better. I want to keep improving.

It's pretty self-explanatory. If we play well, we know what our picture is. If we don't play well, we'll know what our picture is.

I didn't know what to expect coming to college. High school was pretty easy and I guess I expected college to be along the same route. It was just an overwhelming experience.

I never want to look in the mirror and say, 'What if? What if I had run harder? What if I had dived for that groundball?'
