It ain't easy coming off the bench. That is not going to happen every day, what happened out there today. When you're on the bench, you just cheer for your teammates. When you do get an opportunity to go out there, you've got to take advantage of it.

closer feeling full games good plate start
It is frustrating, because I've been feeling good at the plate and it's getting closer to the start of the season. We only have 12 games left. It's frustrating, but you can't do anything about it but just try to get back to full strength.
