I wasn't pressing. I just wasn't getting hits. I had a good spring. It was just time for me to come through.

I took a step back and when it was time for me to come forward - too late.
balls continue hard hit hitting matter sooner time turn
It will turn around sooner or later. At the end of the day, it doesn't matter how hard you hit the ball. You need to get results. At the same time, I know I've been hitting balls hard right at people. I'm just going to continue to do my thing. As long as we continue to win, I just know my time will come.
hit late second step time
When he hit the ball, the first thing that I did was freeze. The second thing that I did was take a step back. And when it was time for me to come forward, it was too late for me.
affected ball city experience good hit hole hurt knowing learning steal time took year
When I got hurt this year I feel that really affected me, took a lot away from me. I wasn't able to steal bases. Every time I hit the ball in the hole I wasn't able to run. I just couldn't run. It's kind of frustrating because you feel like you would have done a better job. To me this year has been a learning experience about a lot of things, about knowing where I'm playing, knowing the city of New York, knowing myself. I feel good with it.

I don't know if I've ever done that in my career. I wasn't getting hits and it was time for me to come through.

Everything he says is based on his life and what he's been through in his career. He was trying to let us know how to handle things we might confront in our careers.
heal helping hurting injury instead last learn wrong
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.

That's the way it always is in Latin America. They have great fun with it, and they make it fun for us.
