breaking good roll trying
I was trying to get him to roll over, ... I got a lot of outs on my breaking ball. It was a good pitch.
couple exciting last missed months normally ready season start training trying
I feel great. I'm ready to go. Last year, before the season started, I missed a couple of months just trying to get healthy, so it's been exciting to start from Day 1 like I've normally done, training and working out.
best couple enjoy felt fun locked stay strike trying
I was just trying to stay in my strike zone. I enjoy (multi-homer) games, it makes it fun. I'm just trying to stay locked in. This is the best I've felt in a couple years.
care field good playing speed talked train trying whatever workouts
When they first got down there they were trying to speed him along. I talked to him and he said they had some good workouts . . . I don't care how much you train or whatever you do, you can't simulate being on the field and playing baseball.
ball few game good hit pitch taking trying
The game slows, ... I don't overanalyze. I just try to get a good pitch and hit it. Even when I cooled off after July, I was still taking good at-bats. I'm just trying to hit the ball hard. Tonight, I got a few mistakes.
toughest trying year
This has probably been the toughest year in my big-league career, trying to come back from everything.
couple good hit mistakes trying
I'm just trying to go up there and get a good pitch, ... I got a couple of mistakes and was able to hit them hard.
enjoying guy minute single tough
We just wanted to get in. It's been such a long, tough year. I know everyone in here is enjoying every single minute of this. Especially for a guy like me, and where I started. It's unbelievable.
ability bit changed last lift
We changed it up a little bit (from last year) because my ability to lift was already there. I had that base. We started squatting right away, lunging.
doubt games good offense win
We're going to win some games with our offense, no doubt about it. Our offense is too good not to win.
helped shot
The shot has helped me a lot, ... I had tendinitis.
game great heart kid people players prove realize seen special takes triple whatever
People don't realize this game is not fair. I've seen some great players who, for whatever reason, never got the opportunity. To keep going back to Triple A, when you know in your heart you have nothing to prove there, it takes a special kid to do that.
gotta
We had our shots. You gotta come up with that big hit. And we haven't come up with it yet.
responsibility
I've learned that you have to take responsibility for yourself in this game and lead yourself through it.
