I don't think I could run those bases fast enough to get into the dugout. Seeing guys like Jimmy [Edmonds] greeting me at the front of the steps, [Chris Carpenter] and all the big name guys were right up there. It's pretty nice to see that.

It's getting down to the wire but you shouldn't put any more added pressure than there is already. You try to get noticed when you're a rookie, and playing hard is how you get noticed around here.

The guy is nasty, so I'm just waiting to get a good pitch to hit. I had to take my at-bat differently than during the middle of the game.

I'm not a five-tool guy or anything, so the one thing I can control is playing hard.
