I disliked the Braves quite a bit.

For me, it's a shin thing, ... If I feel good, I want to play the final three games to stay where I need to be mentally. Playing every day helps me maintain the speed of the game.

The pitches were different, the approaches were different. The pitch today was in a different place than last night. As a hitter, you have to understand that every at-bat is different. If not, you can go up there trying to do too much.

I'm not a big believer in one or two games making a difference in a season. But it was a moment that I'll look back on as the biggest moment of the season.

It's frustrating, but it's a part of the game. It's disappointing, but there's not much you can do about it.

I was trying to swing the bat with some authority, and not be overly defensive.
