playing
I'm playing every day. I still want to win.
case feeling involved letting matter spring swinging time training
I'm just letting it go. I'm swinging at what I need to swing at. And when the time comes, I'll just do what I always done. It's just a matter of going out and feeling better. I feel like I'm involved in spring training and when that's the case I'm going to be myself.
case felt good gotten incidents involved presented prior prove reduced thrown
I just felt like I presented a good enough case where it would be thrown out altogether, but to get it reduced to one day does prove something to me, ... If it wasn't for all of the prior incidents I've been involved with in my career, I don't think I would have gotten any games.
trust
Even if it's on paper, it's still in my hands. Trust me on that. I know how to get out of anything I want to get out of. Trust me.
came depression disturbed drove hurt imagine looking looks lost reason saw womb
That hurt me - that's what drove me into depression where I didn't care. Once I saw my grandmother and him, I lost all of what I had in me. I said, 'He's the reason she looks like that.' I'm still not out of it. I get real disturbed at night. Imagine this person you came out of the womb looking up to. It's just tough, man.
anybody bottom side trying
The bottom line, ... is why should you be trying to get anybody on your side if you're doing the right thing in the first place?
basically believe comment somebody tells version
Do you believe everything somebody tells you? Basically you want me to comment on it. My version, I don't have one. What version do I need to have for you all to be satisfied?
front home leg runs transfer weight
Not even close, ... Once I can transfer my weight to my front leg and just do it with a lot of force, and I don't even think about it, the home runs will come.
everybody playing
I want everybody to be on an even playing field.
somewhere
It's always my situation. It's always, I've got to be somewhere for one or two years, they re-evaluate you from here and there and then go from there.
looks relay
It looks like I'm a 2-year-old who can't relay a message.
anyone care
I've never had an organization come to me and say, 'Eventually, we're going to take care of you. I've never had anyone say, 'I'm going to take care of you.' Why shouldn't I be happy? That's a first for me in 17 years.
family money point spent tried
I've tried (to help). I've put him in rehab. I've spent a lot of money to do that. I've been there for him. But it comes to a point where you've just got to let him go through what he's got to go through. The family has tried everything.
game proves reacting represent wrong
That just proves I wasn't in the wrong, and that's what this is all about. Yeah, you try to represent the game the right way, but then being told you're in the wrong for reacting to something you didn't start, that's kind of disturbing. That just makes me feel like it's a hypocritical society.
