That ball right there I was fouling off to the first baseman in foul territory, trying to stay inside that ball,.. This time, I tried to get the [bat] head out, get my hands out. That's kind of where I need to be. I could finish the season on that note so I can take that into the Dominican.

He's kind of like that sheep dog that keeps showing up in the cartoon,.. He punches in, punches out, he doesn't have a whole lot to say. But you look up at the board and he's got double-digit homers [10], he's got [63] RBIs. As I've said all year long, he's hit the ball harder, with more consistency, and made more hard outs than anybody on this ballclub right now. Anytime you've got Todd Helton on your ballclub, that's something.

I found a hole. That doesn't happen very often.

So it didn't really surprise me a lot,.. That he's thrown that hard off the mound.
surprise hard
I don't know, I see all the other guys going up against him, and it's not like he's doing anything to them that he isn't doing to me. He's just making me look the same.

It's always good to go home. But these guys will probably be able to push me a little bit more than Dad.

There was a call made (by the umpires) to go over what happened, to make sure there was no confusion. There's nothing to it. Hoffman got the best of me.

I went from as high as I could possibly be to as low as you could possibly be overnight.
If I could do it all over again and I was going to get hurt, obviously, I'd rather do it on the field where everybody could see it and I wouldn't have to deal with everything and all the different stories that came out. It's a freak accident. It happened. I deal with it everyday. It comes up all the time, and I know it probably will for the rest of my career.

It was nice to finish with the team and finish in the same year I got hurt. That way I didn't have to wait until now to get back. It's behind me. I've moved on and I'm excited about this year. I'm fully healthy and I'm ready to go.
nice healthy hurt team wait ready
