Morgan Ensberg Quotes (22 Quotes)

This might be the loosest team in baseball history. I think it's a credit to the guys in this room. We never quit, we never get down, and when we lose a game ... we come back the next day and give it our best shot.

It's like being out with the Fantastic Four. Roger -- he belongs in the League of Justice. I actually think he's already secretly in it. There's Superman, and there's Spider-Man. And he's the Rocket.

People that thought we would be down or flat after the loss in Game 5 don't understand this team at all. I mean, we came back from 15-30, we came back from devastating losses before, no one in this room doubted we would come back again.

I don't want to start slowly, but that just seems to be how I've started since I was very young. Hopefully I'll get off to a quick start, because I feel very good at the plate.

It was actually very easy for me just in the sense that I got a slow roller. I saw Albert already running down the line. There actually was no decision you had to go home.

I definitely feel more comfortable when I know what to expect and I know what the program is. I'm very good with routines. That's not to say I can't make an adjustment if you move me in the lineup, but in general I know I'm going to bat third or fourth or fifth in the lineup, and it's nice to know what your role is.
