guys session
We had a heart-to-heart with each other. A lot of guys said stuff. It was like a venting session for everybody.
guys motions spring works
He works hard. A lot of guys who have been around for 11 years, they just kind of go through the motions in spring training, but that guy works hard.
figure group guys jim known manager players talk
It's a pretty important asset, especially with a group like ours. The players want to know what the manager thinks. With Lloyd, you pretty much had to figure that out on your own. Jim Tracy's known to talk to his players, and that makes guys happy.
easier score stuff third
Even the stuff we were doing today, that could be huge. It's a lot easier to score from third than from second.
session talk
We had a heart-to-heart talk and let it all out on the table. It was more of a venting session for everybody.

I am uncertain if race was a factor in Mr. Dilks' assault on me in August and his subsequent threats, but I can assure you that I feel my safety has been severely threatened.

It felt good just to get off to a good start. We haven't had a lot of those.

That's what he should do -- open some eyes and show that he can play. We're real good friends and competitive, too, at the same time.

My whole body seemed to seize up on me in a full cramp. It was really scary.

I said what I have to stay and I've forgotten about it and put it behind me. I'm over it, no hard feelings.
comparing last trying
I was comparing myself to what I was doing last year. I'm trying to get myself right.

I felt I had a real good jump on the ball. I had a long way to go, and off a left-handed bat, the ball tails to left-field more.
clear felt great head sat
I felt great today. I want to play. I've sat out enough times already. My head is really clear now. There should be no setbacks.
balls breaking eight felt played sitting work
I felt great, like I could have played the whole game, but I need some work recognizing breaking balls. After sitting out (for eight days), I felt a little off at the plate.
