above hit pitchers
Pitchers don't get hit that often, especially above the chest,
above bat broken cover definitely path pitchers situation took
Pitchers don't get hit, really, that often, especially above the chest. A broken bat is a situation where I have to cover first base, and that took me right into the path of the bat. It's definitely odd, but it happens. What are you going to do?
catch headed playing
Playing catch for the first day, I didn't really feel it at all. I think I'm headed in the right direction.
ready
I got everything I wanted to get today. I'm ready to go.
care chief holds keeps takes throwing
He just takes care of you, ... You're down there every day. If you're tight, he loosens you up. He keeps your throwing program. He holds everything together. He's like the chief down there.
helped
He helped me out a lot, and he's done that for a lot of years with a lot of guys,

I tend to look on the bright side. It could be worse. It was definitely frustrating for me last year. I could have drawn up different scenarios for my first year in New York.
catch people
I just wanted to show people I could really catch them.

I look at it as how you perform, ... You've still got a job to do, and the last couple of outings have been bad.
affects bruised tight
I'm not sure, ... If you got something that's bruised or tight it affects you a lot more.
affects ball bruise hit max maybe neck throw tight
I'm not sure, ... When you throw a ball in a game, it's pretty much max effort. When you have a bruise or something tight it affects you a lot more than maybe if you were hit in the neck or something.
anybody hit time trying
I'm not trying to hit anybody first time out.
backed movement
After that, we got better movement and just backed off a little bit.
attention guys staff talk training work
I didn't see that side, ... I thought the work that I got in down there with the guys and the training staff was plenty, and the attention that you get was great. We would talk with Mel down there and find out where you're at. I thought it went well for me.
