We just need to continue to play hard and finish the season strong.

That was something that I probably did wrong last year. I should have let the injury heal completely 100 percent. I just wanted to be there, and instead of helping the team, I was hurting the team. You learn from that.

confidence days difference fans feels gives good hear players support
It feels great. I can live with that. I know sometimes I'm not going to have good days and I'm going to hear some boos. But the fans really make the difference in us as players because when you have the support from the fans, it feels great. It gives you confidence to go out there and give your best.
continue feels full improving outfield percent playing run since
It feels 60 percent and it?s not enough for me to go out there and play. I can run but not full speed, and playing in the outfield is no good. I feel like I?m getting better since the day it happened, it?s improving and I just want to continue to improve.
good
I think I can have a good year.
