Chris Burke Good Quotations

Nobody is more surprised than I am. At the same time, I've been in favorable counts and gotten good pitches.

I'd be lying if I said I didn't think about how it all might work out. I had a blast. The thing about the outfield, it can be pretty relaxing out there if you have good at-bats. If you don't, you stand out there thinking about them.

Just in general, it's good for a professional industry to have a license because it sets a standard.

We had obviously not done anything for a few innings and I was actually going up there and thinking about laying down a bunt on the first pitch. Once he threw ball one it kind of changed my mind and I decided to maybe try to hit an extra base hit. I figured being ahead in the count, maybe I was going to get a fastball. Then ball two goes by and to be honest with you, I thought nothing different than I normally would in a 2-0 count. (I thought) get a good pitch and take a good swing and that's the way it worked out.

Every single day it's gotten quite a bit stronger. He's been real pleased with the amount of time it's taken to come back. It's been tough being out a week, but at the same time, I guess that's pretty good with the kind of injury I had.

Ball two went by and obviously I was in a good situation, ... I'm zeroing in on a fastball up in the zone. It's exactly what I got.

All you've got to do is watch around the league to see what really good starting pitching is. You watch other games and pitchers are coming out in the fourth, or the third, or the fifth. We've had such good starting pitching and production throughout our lineup. That's a really good formula for wins.

This is about as good as it gets,

I'm going to try to go through the same pregame workout as far as taking fly balls, ground balls, and I'm going to take BP, ... Hopefully, everything goes good (today), and I'll be available Tuesday.

They must have made two good relay throws, ... I felt like I just beat it, and I'm pleased the umpire got the call right.

It was definitely awkward being out there at shortstop. It was fun (and) exciting. I had a good time with it.

I try not to make too big a deal out of it. It's kind of a short span of at-bats. I realize postseason at-bats are all magnified, but at the same time, I felt pretty good the last month or six weeks of the season also.
