close full good percent ready run
If I was close to 100 percent, I'd be on the field. It's still tight. It's no good for me to go out and play. That's how I feel. When I try to run full speed, it doesn't feel good. I don't feel 100 percent ready to get on the field.
hit remember
I don't remember anything of what happened. I don't remember how it happened, I know we got hit. I feel like I got hit by a train.
bat run swing swinging
I can hit. I feel like I can swing the bat. I just feel like I can't run 100 percent. Swinging the bat is no problem. Just running.
difficult injuries last year
I am strong. Last year was a very difficult year. When you don't do well and go through many injuries like I did last year, mentally, you've got to be strong. I feel like I had that.
Right now I feel if I try to play it's going to get worse.
happy since spring training
Since spring training I feel better. I feel happy to be here and relaxed.
difficult injuries last maybe negative year
Maybe last year was the year of injuries and things. Maybe from now on, nothing will happen. That's the way I look at it. When negative things happen, you can't look at the negative. You've got to look at the positive. Last year was a difficult year, but this year I feel is going to be a better year.
last relaxed wondering year
When you come to a new place like I did last year for the first time, you're wondering how it's going to be. This year, I feel relaxed and feel great.
ball felt goal good matter team
I felt good at the plate, I was able to put the ball in play, ... My goal is to win. It doesn't matter how I do. I want to do well, but I just want the team to win.
advantage gets looks pitcher pressure quick
To me, he looks more comfortable now. With him, if he gets on base, he can put pressure on the pitcher and they try to be too quick to the plate. When that happens, they can make a mistake, and we can take advantage of that.
disservice fans
We would be doing a disservice to our fans not to look at the opportunity.
decided felt good willie
It's the same thing I felt in New York. I decided to tell Willie I wasn't going to be able to make it. It's tough. I felt good at the plate, but I want to be 100 percent.
ballpark feels game great mean
It just feels great to come out to the ballpark and have every game mean something.
build confidence telling
It's going to build confidence in everyone here. I'm telling you: We feel relief.
