awhile ball general guess head hit muscles strong takes trying
I thought it all went well. I was just trying to get the (bat) head out. In general I guess I did. I hit the ball on the barrel, which is good. It's coming. I just need to keep hitting. It takes awhile to get those muscles strong again.

guess honest looking
That doesn't count. To be honest with you guys, I'm not really looking to throw. I guess everyone else is.
bit covering everybody guess honest legs looking seem taking throws trying underneath
Yeah, that doesn't count. To be honest with you guys, I'm not really looking to throw. I guess everybody else is, but I'm not. I'm just trying to get my legs underneath me, get out there, get used to taking throws again, covering the base. All of the things that you seem to take for granted, but it's a little bit different here.
educated guesses rest
There's nothing really (doctors) can tell me. There are educated guesses of what's going on. I just need to rest a little bit.
easy good guess help second stronger
Second guess all you want. I think that's easy to do in that situation, but I think it's a little unfair, too. I feel like I can help the team, I really do. I feel like I'm going to give a good at-bat. I'm a lot stronger now.
confidence hitting outside tough
Locating on the outside corner, getting confidence with his outside fastball, hitting his spots, ... When he does that, he's tough to hit.
bit wish
I wish I could've done a little bit more.
course feels key stay stays
It feels better as I do it. The key is during the course of a game, is it going to stay like that? Or at least that it stays the same, not regresses.
feels guys looks maintain spring throughout throwing training watching ways
It feels like there is still something lodged in there, but it does feel better, and the guys who are watching say it looks a lot better. I've got a ways to go. I've got to be able to maintain my throwing throughout the spring training if I'm going to be able to play during the season.
certain contracts dollars earned given giving guarantee guys high leagues millions rather school start teams
I think the teams are to blame. They start out by giving guys out of high school millions of dollars and contracts that guarantee they'll be in the big leagues by a certain time. Then they coddle them all the way through the system. They get used to having things given to them rather than having earned them.
ball bunch farther greatest pitches player saw spring today training
That ball actually went farther than I thought it would, so that was good. I've said before I'm not the greatest spring training player in the world. I saw a bunch of pitches today which was good. The more pitches I see the better I'll get.
That was probably the calmest I was the whole postseason.
control embarrass felt problem work
I said I wasn't going to embarrass myself, and I felt like this was a joke. I don't have a problem with my work ethic. I don't have a problem with determination. But I can't control what's going on in my shoulder.
