Matt Holliday Time Quotations

I think I just learned that God has a plan for all of us, and I work hard and do all the things I can, but at the same time, His will is perfect; and me trying to control it, it's not going to work.

When it's one game, especially at this time of year when hitters are still trying to feel their way through it a little bit, it's tough. As a hitter, you're not quite locked in yet.

We've got some good hitters who aren't necessarily all-or-nothing hitters. I'm mostly sitting on fastballs the whole time and reacting to the off-speed stuff.

What Todd went through was an aberration. He makes it easier for me and (Atkins) because he's on base every time we come up.

No problem for me. I've got nothing to hide. That's the second time for me (including an MLB test), so I'm used to it.

I'm very concerned. Any time you have to go to the hospital, it's never a good thing. When I leave here, I'm going to see if I can call him.

It's more gratifying to do things that help the team win. Personally it feels good, but at the same time it's a team game. To be able to do your job is gratifying. To be able to do things to help the team win is gratifying. I was able to do that tonight.

I don't think any time you run into your teammate it can be too positive. But maybe it did jostle something loose.
