We always feel comfortable (playing from behind), especially with the team we have. We have a great team, and it doesn't matter who is in the lineup, ... Right now, every game is a must-win situation and we feel that. This was a game we know we had to have.
I'm not Mike Piazza.
I just try to do what I can do, ... I want Mike to come back. And I want to play, too. I like doing what I'm going. But he is the man. I respect that.
The first pitch, he showed me a fastball. I was looking for something off-speed after that.
It's a good situation for me. When you know you're going to play, you play better.
I know him, ... He throws a fastball away and then he comes in with a slider. I was ready for a slider, and he hung one.
I said, 'You have Vance Wilson, you have Jason Phillips, and you have Mike Piazza. What am I going to do there?' He told me, 'Just trust me,'.
I was a little bit down after my first two at-bats, ... I said to myself, 'I've got to be more aggressive.' .
We're playing great and we're playing hard, ... We never give up. We're a team, so we're playing together, and right now we're a winner.
