I'm not that good to be wasting my swings. Sometimes you're sitting on a pitch that you're not seeing well.
losing moment start thinking walk wasting year
The moment you start thinking it?s going to take a year, you?re wasting your time. I?m just going to go out and play. It?s going to be a transition, but I?m not going to walk in and say it?s going to take me a year because I?m losing a year; I?m wasting a year.
anxious best cuba sound teams
I'm not anxious to see them play good. It will be interesting. They are fundamentally sound and know how to play the game. Non-professionally, Cuba is one of the best teams in the world.

It was kind of a bummer. It would have been nice to keep the line moving.

I'll be working my way down to my normal .185.
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.
