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.
behind certain conviction felt meaning says testament today
It's a testament to why he's been here 11 years. I think this one was a little more intense. I just felt the conviction behind it. . . . When he says it a certain way, it has some meaning behind it and today it felt different.
early felt swing took
I took a swing early and I let it go pretty good, and I felt fine, ... After that, I took my chances.
felt slow took tried
I felt it (tighten) when I first took off and I tried to slow down,
cramp felt good hurt kept maybe problems pull start stopped tried walking
I felt it cramp up on me. I tried to start over and regroup, but I just stopped before I hurt it more. I thought maybe I'd pull it if I kept going. Getting up and walking off myself was a good sign. I haven't had many problems with my legs.
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.

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.
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.
