forward last lifetime looked sure
It's a lifetime experience, something you've looked forward to your whole life. You're not sure if you want it to be over with, or if you want it to last forever.
amount days eager games goes logical mixed nice reasonable schedule seems
There is a schedule that I'll see some games shortly - a nice amount of off days mixed in there. It seems reasonable and logical on paper. If it goes well, we'll see what else we can do. I'm eager to get to the field.
baseball cage coaches good happened played stuff test timing work
There are some things I need to work on just to get a feel back. I haven't played baseball for a while. I need to get some timing ... get some feel back. That stuff is going to be done in the cage and out here with coaches BP. This is a big test for me. I made contact. A lot of good things happened today.
playing time tough
We've always had a tough time playing them.
great history liked people played players trend
A lot of people liked the old place. It had some history. A lot of great players played there. The way the game's going, the trend of the game, is to have new ballparks.
felt good shoulder since
This is as good as I've felt physically, without question, with the shoulder since (2002).
beat built continue easy good hitting mean nice profile runs shot
He's built pretty well for a hitting streak. He runs well. He can bunt. He can beat out some infield hits, and he switch-hits. That's a nice profile for a streak. It doesn't mean it's easy to do. He's got a good shot to continue it.
throwing trying
He was throwing 96. I was just trying to look for something to hit.
everybody itself repair strength tested
He tested my strength, and everybody has tested the repair itself and the way it was done. Everybody said 'Get out of here, you're good.
ball bunch gets good hard kept life moved picking talk time
He had good life on his ball. I think if you go around and talk to a bunch of hitters, they'll say they have a hard time picking the ball up. The ball gets on you. He's sneaky. He kept the ball down and moved it around and had good life on it.
almost good gum threw
I almost threw up because I had a lot of gum in my mouth, but I feel good about my performance.
atmosphere ball change drive felt hits last opening seems three travel weeks
I'll take three hits on Opening Day anywhere. I felt better the last two weeks of spring. I felt I could drive the ball. Things change when you get in a major-league stadium, the atmosphere changes, the ball seems to travel a little farther.
moving week
I had the surgery. I'm going to be in a sling for another week or so, then we'll go from there, ... The shoulder's been repaired. Everything is moving ahead.
continue groove motion range swing trying
I'm not trying to groove a swing right now for the season. I'm just trying to continue my range of motion and flexibility.
