thinking today parks
I just need to come to the park every day thinking something good is going to happen to me and hoping today is going to be the day.
ball hit score today
We can score a lot of runs, we know that. As a team, we know we can go out there and hit the ball well. Today was one of those days.
easy today
I'll take it easy today and then we'll see about tomorrow. To me, it's nothing major.
disservice fans
We would be doing a disservice to our fans not to look at the opportunity.
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.
based confront handle life might says trying
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.
continue finish hard season
We just need to continue to play hard and finish the season strong.
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.
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.
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.
Right now I feel if I try to play it's going to get worse.
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.
