Chris Shelton Ball Quotations

I don't feel like I'm doing anything differently. I couldn't explain what's going on other than I'm hitting the ball hard and they're going out of the ballpark. That's all I can tell you.

I don't expect to hit home runs. I expect to hit the ball hard. They're just going out of the park right now. Whether they will a week from now, two weeks from now, who knows?

I'm striking out way too much. I'm either hitting the ball out of the park, getting an extra-base hit - or I'm striking out.

I'm just happy for the opportunity to play ball every day. I would rather just get in, do my job and get out without dealing with all of the questions. But I guess it comes with the territory. If we weren't winning, nobody would want to talk to me then. And that's the most important thing.

The thing is, good pitching always beats good hitting. Unfortunately, Dmitri (Young) stole third and we had one out, all I had to do was hit the ball to the outfield. I couldn't get it done. We just didn't get the big hits when we needed to.
