I've been seeing lefthanders good all year. I know my numbers stink. I think I've been overly aggressive, trying to pull everything. I'm not doing anything different - just hitting it more.

He was back to his old self.

It was a good visit, but it was tough to see. To see them laying there like that was hard. A lot of them were younger than me.

It looked like those pitches were right there.

I like this park. I don't like that it has a first-base dugout, though, cause I have to run further [to left field]. We even have that at home. Can we change that?

I'm not making excuses, but I'm glad to be out of that place. It's big. Your depth perception gets thrown off. You're not used to playing in closed-in stadiums anymore. It looks like the ball's going 60 mph, then it's right on you. It's weird.

Hey, I'm serious here? Why do you have to ask me how many hits I have?

[When Rob Butcher, director of media relations, told Dunn,] Only 25 players in the history of the game have 1,000 extra-base hits, ... Thanks, Rob, that's all I wanted to know.

I didn't understand what I was doing. I just think it was one of those things that everyone goes through.
