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.
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.

I hope I haven't maxed out, because I'm not satisfied. I hope I can be a better ball player, and I hope I'm on my way.

There was a debate in the third where the bathroom was. We had a search party out for the bathroom; it was actually right in front of us. The door was closed.
behind break camp extra feeling four healthy jamming magic mean number rather risk sluggish sure thinking
The thinking right now is I'd rather break camp healthy. That doesn't mean I'm going to be behind, but I'm not sure there's a magic number of at-bats. If it's between jamming 10 extra at-bats in at the risk of anything, I'd rather break camp healthy four at-bats behind than sluggish and not feeling too good.
dive doctor number pulled
Don't dive for 10 days. I think the doctor pulled that number out of a hat.

March 2, if I get an AB that's great, if I don't, that's OK too.

I can't lift my arms, so there's not much I can do about it. I couldn't control what happened and I'm not going to kick rocks at my head about it.

I don't think you have to be the New York Yankees. But everybody has to have their job and contribute. That's how I see it.
