After that at-bat, I was spent, ... I got a little bit tired by the fifth inning. Your adrenaline is going so hard and everybody's cheering for you out there. The team is playing well and you're so hyped up.
It's nice to win, ... I still feel like I'm in the spring training mode. Sometimes I feel really good. Sometimes I feel off balance. Those are things you go through in spring training. I'm trying to put it together in such a short window of time.
So far, so good. I hate to say anything just in case somewhere down the road something happens, but at this stage and the way I feel, I'll play, definitely.
That's a great compliment if that's the case, ... These guys are good. Everybody's playing well. You just can't take two days and two games right now and start riding the white pony. You've got continue on. If we're going to make a run at this, we've got to continue winning. There's no looking back.
The last at-bat, I was pretty burned out, ... I have a short period of time to help as much as I can. Hopefully, it doesn't hurt the team. They've been there all year. I'm having to make fast, fast, fast adjustments.
The fast ones I'm able to see. The slower ones I'm missing. He challenged me one time too many.
I'm in game mode. This is where I want to be. This is what I envisioned all those months I was working to get my knee back where it needed to be.
I'm not playing baseball anymore after this. The game (isn't) fun anymore.
I'm not seeing the ball any differently, ... I've just been lucky, I guess.
I'm going to keep playing until it blows up. If I have to have a procedure, then I'm done. Finished. That would be it.
I just put it off the field so no one would get hurt.
I just prayed, brother. That's it. I thought, 'Why me?'
I just pointed to him just to show him I've got more to my game than just swinging.
Call it age, knee, everything, anything you want to call it.
