feeling guy helpless injuries minor sitting somebody superstar talent team wants
I want to be out there and be involved. You get that helpless feeling when you're sitting on the bench. I don't want to be that guy. I'll take a guy on my team that doesn't have as much talent but wants to play through minor injuries than somebody who has superstar talent but is soft.
caught threw
It started tailing, ... I caught it cleanly, threw it cleanly.
answer couple drop followed growing last mets minor seems ways
It was a springboard. They just find ways to answer back and the way to do it big. I've kind of followed the Mets growing up and the last couple years in the minor leagues. He seems to always be the one to drop the hammer. He comes up big in the clutch. That's what makes him great.
balls confidence confident couple early errors felt half last second start thrown work
It's a confidence thing. The second half of last year, I felt more confident and I feel more comfortable this spring. That's the big thing for me. I can work on drills and footwork all day, but if I don't feel comfortable, it's not going to matter. As a young player, especially in New York, you make a couple of errors early and you start pressing a little bit. I've got to relax. I've thrown so many balls over to first base, I can probably do it blindfolded.

I've been struggling a little bit lately. It's good to get back in the groove.

This is what good teams do: Find a way to bounce back after a loss.

There's a reason they do it EV-ER-Y SIN-GLE YEAR. They do the small things right.
last team year
That's something we didn't do enough last year -- keep a team down.
across biggest good team together trades trying
That's the biggest thing we were trying to get across is that we have all the right tools. The free-agent signings, the trades that have come over, we have all the right tools. We just have to put it together and do it on the field. It's one thing to be a good team on paper; it's another thing to go out there and be a good team on the field.
willie
That's one thing I really appreciated. Willie had my back.

It's nice to get hits like that. But right now I am happy just to get some good at-bats.

It's still a game and you'd rather win it than lose it.
procedure
It?s not as complicated procedure to take them down.
