pay treated
One time, they didn't pay me. But for the most part, they have treated me well.
identity
I feel like I have my identity back.
eyes
We didn't go in with our eyes closed,
expect extremely hit pitching throw
We've been pitching extremely well. We can't expect to throw a shutout every night. They hit more than us.
answer sold tickets
There are no tickets left; they sold out. There is no other way to answer that.
decision frustrated hate heat moment wish
It's too bad. You hate to end up this way. Sometimes you get frustrated and in the heat of the moment you say some things sometimes you wish you didn't say. But he made a decision and said what he had to say. He has to live with it.
meeting
It's like a meeting place but, it's also like my workout.
risking unique
Considering this is a pretty unique opportunity, a once-in-a-lifetime event, and we're not risking anything treatment-wise, I'd like to be there, and be part of the team. If I get better, and can still play, I'm already there.
hopefully love passionate receiving respect side tip
That's one thing about New York, and I love it. They're fanatics. They're passionate about everything they do. You've got to respect that; I tip my cap. When you're on the receiving end, it's not that much fun, so hopefully when I'm on the same side of the fence, it will be better.
appreciate attention came clubhouse coming deal pay peace whatever
It wasn't a big meeting. I was coming from the clubhouse and he came my way. That's what he said, 'Don't pay any attention to these rumors.' That was it. I appreciate that he told me that. But in this game, there is no peace of mind. You just come out and you play. Whatever you have to deal with, you deal with.
fun guys opportunity tough watch
Not having the opportunity to play because I wasn't healthy, it's tough. It's fun to watch (the Classic) when the guys are winning, but it's tough not being able to participate.
finally nice organized spring uniform until
It's nice to finally come out and get into an organized routine. I always say the first day of spring training, you put your uniform on and you don't take it off until October.
pumped sweet
It's like sweet and sour, because we get pumped up, and then we get a little panicked,
fun hard numbers predict push results
It's hard to predict what kind of numbers and what kind of results you will end up with, ... All I can say is that it is fun right now, challenging myself to push to be a better player.
