Play from 4:15[4:15] ..." no matter what the score is. Since I've been here you can hit home runs he can hit base hits the other way with a bases loaded. It's just one of those things where he does a lot of things very very well. On. You know it's -- play -- something I'm Brian Roberts who could fly. That's that's a great. Plano what is going to notice that play -- you know I was I needed"...

Play from 0:00[0:00]" Oh. Well yes. It's. Yeah -- Not happy about that I thought I was only ball really well through you know. I tended pitches and I'm definitely going right of metal plate in there. I'm frustrated -- three home runs I'm glad that we won the game it -- drug and can address that. Go back to doing some things trying to keep the ball down a little better feel more conscious of that -- home. You know move on so I think I gave up one of the longest pollutants at Fenway Park history I don't know bounce off the Citgo sign or not. And then Morgan maybe the shortest you know Atlanta's like one inch over the right field wall so. Javy thought you had a chance to make the players. -- bottom line is we warned. Guys scored a ton of runs for me ask them pick me up he -- out. And I did they just went right on the field this and guys play harder to say enough about my second baseman here. This guy and in my opinion is the MVP of the league he's unbelievable. I didn't know he was that good when it came over here the dark place are you guys who plays great defense. He is. For every game he gets hit when it counts. Clutch player you know we've we've thrown in the four hole. Mets this crazy and he's come up big answered in that role also I can't say enough about him that you know the whole team plays really Oregon -- Enron. And put pressure on the other teams just announced a blast and a privilege. To be around players that play this game the way they do. Right. Sarah starts he says the rodeo all I won't thinking about what I did. Those five games who Cleveland. The chatter really had changed my mechanics a little bit. Changed my gloves do some things that I think -- be aware -- and there. Was overlooked frontline in order to keep people down I'm going to watch tape tomorrow. And -- blocks and I just watched it more NC you know -- few balls. Platoon. Glad to souls that you know due to addressed at Wimbledon a little better."

Play from 2:33[2:33]" I am here you know I don't know -- mechanical issue or that something else on. But. You know and didn't use every night sometimes he. -- chipped or -- perfect and you got to tip your cap when you do make a mistake and ended up in the seats doesn't always have worked out sometimes -- I'll put up. CO look at how many you leave enough out over isn't you're doing analog versus something we just. Have to take your captain. -- really good changes made a few bad pitches and they -- amounts those when those were. I'll watch -- more a little bit right there just trying to relax enjoyment first win at north park. -- feels like playoffs. -- time to take -- moment I'm just thrilled. They brought me over here. Yeah. And who -- You know I just walked up here I don't know. Prison or something down their I don't know that's a good point of figure that out later. I was happy to get out there and you in my first outing here didn't win so it's nice to get out there in front of the home crowd. And pitched well enough to win. Do. Yeah."

Play from 3:50[3:50]" Actually seen him day in day out how much he means that this team. I -- good player I don't like as soon as he was pesky and just you know hit the ball and -- this morning that the ball there too. But I didn't realize how good he wants defensively. And now. As he goes we go I mean he's just. He says all the right things in the dugout he's always excited he's always fired up he always plays super hard no matter what the score is. Since I've been here you can hit home runs he can hit base hits the other way with a bases loaded. It's just one of those things where he does a lot of things very very well. On. You know it's -- play -- something I'm Brian Roberts who could fly. That's that's a great. Plano what is going to notice that play -- you know I was I needed something like that at that point. There's just a huge play. A lot of defense and I noticed the fans that'll strike guys out and don't walk many people so. A pay attention to who's moving on the infield and outfield and until I got two guys -- second base. That's most that doesn't mean there are other guys you play. We sir we have a great -- fans every night which is huge for me you know I just. I really. Want to single him out because he got the big got the big play that not everybody noticed I noticed I play."

Play from 5:18[5:18]" I noticed that time you. -- Columnist. It."

Play from 5:27[5:27]" Yeah. It's a great feeling because if you give up some runs early feel -- parents need to hold the fort down here. Make better pitches in a better selection and -- give our team a chance to win because. You know is it tough for the softens ever be out of -- game."
