couple maturing tried
It's confidence. I feel I'm maturing a little bit. A couple of years ago, I would've tried to do too much.
good guy guys walk
I wanted to set the tone. I didn't want to be the guy who you walk guys to get to. That doesn't make you feel like a good hitter.
baseball bench confident guys hard honest opinion prove push ready rookie step time voice
I've been through the years of being the rookie and being on the bench and then getting to play. And to be honest with you, now I'm as confident as ever. It's time for me to step up. It's time for me to be a leader. I can voice my opinion and try to push guys, but not really forceful. Just prove to them that I'm here to play, I want you guys to be ready to play and let's just go out and play hard baseball.

I personally think that when you've done some of the things he's done in this game, there's an opportunity for you somewhere else. I believe in my heart he's going to get an opportunity.
goes guys kenny rubbing somebody
They've been outstanding. With Kenny here, I really think his influence, how he goes about his business, it's rubbing off. These guys are learning. They have somebody that they can go to with questions.
guys hits
They got the hits when there were guys on base, and they scored more runs.
sure
If I had stopped, set, and then thrown, we wouldn't have had a chance. I wasn't sure it was going to work, but it did.
busted cares happy leg miss week worked
He's not happy at all about that leg injury. Like he said, 'I've busted my tail. I've worked hard. I don't need nothing like this to happen.' But at the same time, it's early. He ain't going to miss that much time. Who cares if you give him another week or so?
