Zitat des Tages von Freddie Freeman:
Usually, I can get the job done with guys in scoring position.
I'd like to finish my career as a Brave.
You think about when you're kids and see these guys on TV, and now you're in the same clubhouse as Chipper Jones and Bobby Cox.
I stick to what got me here and what I know best. That's the same routine. I'm not going to vary it.
When I played Little League, I looked up to the big leaguers, too, and collected their baseball cards.
For me, feeling good is line drives to left field.
Just got to keep going out there and keep swinging. That's all I can really do. Getting work in, doing everything I can to get ready for the game.
Just have fun, and just play hard, and just practice a lot.
I don't really watch video, but I see the replay; like when I do strike out, and I'm walking back to the dugout, I look up and see if they do show the replay of me swinging and missing.
I think about my mom every day.
Growing up in California, I grew up a JT Snow fan.
It's just so much fun to relax and just play baseball for a living. It's a great time in my life. I'm never going to forget it, and it's very humbling.
Obviously, being a first baseman, you're kind of expected to hit some home runs. Obviously, that goes into your head; it gets into my head a little bit.
I love coming home.
There are certain guys you just take from different teams that you watch.
You got to put the personal stuff away and see the business side of it.
If I don't get hits, I don't get hits, but I'm trying to get hits.
There's nothing I can really do but keep going out there and swinging.
Usually, my track record's pretty good with guys on base.
Darren Erstad was special to watch when he moved from center field from first base.
You've just got to keep grinding, putting good ABs together; just stop trying to look at the record, your batting average. You've got to go out there and just keep playing.
