playing spot
You playing today, LaRue? What is it, a spot start?
knew
I knew they were going to get it right.
depth gets glad looks perception playing stadiums thrown
I'm not making excuses, but I'm glad to be out of that place. It's big. Your depth perception gets thrown off. You're not used to playing in closed-in stadiums anymore. It looks like the ball's going 60 mph, then it's right on you. It's weird.
good laying tough younger
It was a good visit, but it was tough to see. To see them laying there like that was hard. A lot of them were younger than me.
couple
It was pretty bad. A couple of them I just misjudged. I'm not going to make excuses.
looked pitches
It looked like those pitches were right there.
instructor lifted time
The instructor was pretty nice. We just goofed off the whole time and lifted weights.
ball gets neck time
Every time I look up, a ball is gone. My neck gets sore.
bass bracelet gold series vegas win
To win a gold bracelet in Vegas at the World Series of Poker. Or to become a professional bass fisherman.
good hitting numbers overly pull seeing trying
I've been seeing lefthanders good all year. I know my numbers stink. I think I've been overly aggressive, trying to pull everything. I'm not doing anything different -- just hitting it more.
assume average baseball hit hitting home life people runs tried until
People assume I can't hit for average. I've hit for average all my life, until I got up here. It's not because I can't. It's because people have tried to get me to hit more homers. I'll hit even more home runs when I'm hitting the way I can.
good healthy hopefully stay
If we're healthy we're as good as anyone. Hopefully we stay that way.
bit coming definitely playing reason since
Since the All-Star game, we've been playing a little bit better. That's definitely a big reason why he's coming back.
chance good score since
Since I've been here, we haven't had this very often. We know if we score runs, we've got a pretty good chance to win.
