available balls far fly goes good ground taking workout
I'm going to try to go through the same pregame workout as far as taking fly balls, ground balls, and I'm going to take BP, ... Hopefully, everything goes good (today), and I'll be available Tuesday.
good lying might relaxing stand thinking work
I'd be lying if I said I didn't think about how it all might work out. I had a blast. The thing about the outfield, it can be pretty relaxing out there if you have good at-bats. If you don't, you stand out there thinking about them.
coming continue continuing motion progress range work
I'm continuing to work on range of motion and my strength, ... It's coming back pretty quick. Hopefully, it can continue to progress at that pace.
ahead ball base bunt changed decided extra few figured goes good hit honest innings laying maybe mind normally obviously pitch swing thinking threw worked
We had obviously not done anything for a few innings and I was actually going up there and thinking about laying down a bunt on the first pitch. Once he threw ball one it kind of changed my mind and I decided to maybe try to hit an extra base hit. I figured being ahead in the count, maybe I was going to get a fastball. Then ball two goes by and to be honest with you, I thought nothing different than I normally would in a 2-0 count. (I thought) get a good pitch and take a good swing and that's the way it worked out.
trying
I'm trying to make my way around the diamond.
bit game turned
I mean, the game turned into a little bit of a three-ring circus.
grasp starting types
I'm just starting to grasp it, because these are the types of homers you always see replayed. And now one of them is mine.
bats best fortunate hits hoping knowing luckily swing
The best part about it is knowing that we don't have to go back to Atlanta, ... We had some bats out of the lineup and everyone was kind of hoping that we were going to do it with just one swing of the bat. Luckily I was the guy. I am fortunate to have big hits at all levels, but this is very gratifying.
believe came great heard hit knew people resist stories temptation thinking unique
It's neat. Sometimes you try to resist the temptation of thinking you've heard all the stories and tuning people out, because you'll hear some pretty unique stories. You can't believe how many people came up to me and said, 'Oh, we knew you were going to hit it.' Most people have been really great about it.
class drive extra gives love ride settled time warm weather weekend
I love to be able to drive down with my wife. She has Fridays off of class and we take the weekend so she can ride down with me and we get settled in our place. It gives me extra time to get out in the warm weather and get started.

I'm pretty fired up about how much I improved,

I'm just going to out there, relax, make the plays that I'm supposed to make and hopefully help the team out until Adam can get back out on the field.

I'm just glad I could do my part, ... It was draining, mentally draining.
