believer earlier jason last riding rode staying team year
I'm a big believer in staying with what's hot, ... It isn't about what a person feels, it's about what's working. We're riding Jason right now, where last year they rode me, and earlier this year, we rode A-Rod. That's the way this team is set up.
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?
believe buying earning hard life raised strength taught train whatever work
My dad's a bodybuilder. My whole life I've been taught to train the hard way. I believe in earning strength, not buying it. My grandfather raised me old school: In baseball, you work for whatever you get.
believe happened problem shame
I can't believe it hasn't happened yet. It's a shame and it's disappointing. I don't know what the problem is.
anybody change regardless
We know what this is about, regardless of what anybody says. They've had their way with us pretty much this year, and we have to go out and change that in our favor.
capable continue playing
We're playing like we are capable of playing. If we can continue to play like this we'll be fine.
except fame game good hall hear humbling mechanics screwed stay
My mechanics are so screwed up, there's nothing you can really tell me except stay back. Reggie was on me to stay aggressive, stay positive. This is a humbling game and like he said, if it was easy, he'd still be playing. That's good to hear from a Hall of Fame hitter.
season start
It doesn't matter. I look at it like this, the start of the season I'll do what I've always done. That's it.
looks truth
I tell him the truth. I just tell him how it looks - how he looks: 'Dude, you look like an addict.' But he doesn't see it.
demon escape genuinely meant wants
I think he genuinely meant it. I think he really wants to do the right things to escape this demon that's got him.
felt good last strong
It did help. I didn't have to think about defense. I felt good today. I felt strong in my last at-bat.
bad box corner feeling step time took trying turn walk
I thought I would turn the corner when I didn't play. It wasn't feeling that bad when I'd walk up stairs, so I thought it was getting better. Once I took one step out of the batter's box trying for a double, I couldn't do it. I don't have time to be waiting.
heal helped night
My wounds, ... It was like a cortisone to heal these wounds. I rubbed it on every night and it helped me.
help prayers receive seek
My prayers are with my uncle. I pray that he will seek and receive the help he so desperately needs.
