I was going to go up hacking, ... Pitcher on deck. Two outs. He can start throwing his dirtiest stuff up there. So I was definitely hacking.

[Devine] is going to be a great pitcher in this league someday,

It was greatest moment I've ever had on the baseball field. Everything just felt right, and it was awesome.

You never expect to hit a home run off a guy like that, ... He's the best pitcher in baseball. He's been the best pitcher in baseball -- him and Smoltz. He's a first-ballot Hall of Famer. So this is something I won't forget.

He threw the ball OK. In the second inning, he wasn't hitting his locations like he wanted to. But he should be fine.

He's just a starting pitcher. He's got three pitches, and he can throw them all for strikes. With his demeanor, he's got the best poise I've seen.
