Nick Green Quotations

We were both going after the ball and I looked down to see where everything was and I was about to call it. All of a sudden I hit him. It happened so fast.

I don't know what's happening. Maybe we're cursed or something.

I feel good about what I've done. I've competed. At least if not here, hopefully I'll get a chance somewhere else. I hope it's here. I expected to be on the team. I'm not looking for a trade right now. I want to be here.

I think the ball was still up at the top where neither one of us should have called it yet. I was looking down, I knew it was my ball, so I was looking down to see where I was. Then I was going to call it. But I guess we both went down.

I was about to call it and ran into him. It happened so fast.

Whenever I messed up, I was hoping Joe would put me back out there, that he wouldn't give up on me. That's what he told me, too. He said 'I know you're going to mess up, so don't worry about it. Go out there and play.' That made me feel comfortable about going out there.

You're so far away from the action. I think one of the hardest things is keeping your head in the game all the time. A lot of times in the outfield, you're just standing there. You can go innings without a ball being hit to you.

I looked down to see where I was, and I was about to call for (the ball), and I hit him. I didn't even know he was there.

I just think if you know your name is going to be in the lineup, it gives you some kind of sense of confidence. When you come to the park waiting for the lineup card to go up, then you've got to prepare yourself to play, that's one of the reasons why bench players don't quite put up the stats that regulars do.

I personally want to prove that I can play somewhere besides second. But if he's going to get us out there, he's going to get us out there. So it's going to give us a chance to play.
