Jeremy Hermida Quotations

I felt it rounding second base. I would rather have it now than later.

I finally moved it back as far as I could and we ran out of room in the back yard. It was a good day. It took a couple of years, but it was cool.

I can't help the team right now. This will give me a little more time to rest and get healthy.

Opening Day of a big-league season is part of that whole dream, putting the uniform on that first day ... it definitely will be exciting.

Opening Day is very special. You have those Opening Day jitters. There is so much anticipation. So much hard work went into getting the season started.

Reggie has probably the most raw tools of anyone I've played with.

I wish I wasn't late on my first day of BP.

That's been my goal ever since the beginning of the season.

We'll wait and see. It's been an up-and-down process. It's good one day and sore the next.

Even though this was a loss, we can take some good stuff out of it. We got down early, and our bullpen came in and shut them down the remainder of the game.

As soon as I hit it, I had a pretty good idea it was going out. It didn't really hit me until I crossed home plate.

Your guess is as good as mine. They just told me to come here and take it day by day.

A lot of people are looking at us as the young team that's not going to do much. We're going to go out there and work hard and surprise some people.

A lot of things stick out. I think it's an overall good experience. Being my first time up here, I've seen ups and downs. I've seen what it takes, how guys react when things are going good, and how guys react when they are going bad. It's a little more of a good way to teach me the ropes.

It's something we hear every day in this locker room, that nobody expects much out of this team. I think we're using that to drive us a little bit. We're kind of using it as . . . fuel.

It'll be something to go home and play yourself on a video game. I'm sure everybody in here is going to buy a copy to at least see what you look like.

It was a good crowd. Hopefully we went out there and played hard and put on a good show, win or lose. Hopefully they keep coming out for us.

It tightened up on me. It's something I thought I could play through, but it tightened up a little more as the game went on. We decided to give it a day. It's a little sore today.

I'm having fun. It's a dream come true.

I pretty much already made up my mind I was going to swing at the first pitch up there, just to get the jitters out. After that, I was like, 'All right, sit back and trust yourself.' And he just happened to leave one over the middle a little bit.

I just made a choice to get it, and I didn't get it into my glove. You could play back, but if I play back on it the two runs might score anyway.

Honestly, I didn't even see it. I don't even think I looked at it. I was just running.

I couldn't even dream stuff like this. It's something I couldn't describe.

You couldn't even dream of something like this. You always dream of coming in and maybe not getting a home run in your first at-bat, but just getting a hit. To do something like that, it's something I couldn't even describe.

You couldn't even dream of something like this.
