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.
baseball doors people
Different people, different backgrounds, different ideals... We walk in different doors at the beginning of the day, and we walk out of different doors at the end of the day. But when it is time to go out on that field, we all go through the same door.
dream baseball play
My dream was to play Major League baseball. I've lived that dream.
baseball pinnacle havens
I hope I haven't reached a pinnacle...I hope there's something more for me in baseball and in life.
baseball dog player
I'm a baseball player. I'm also a guy who mows his lawn and plays with his dog.
baseball play odd
I play baseball and I like to read. What makes that odd?
afraid along setbacks start swings unheard
There are a lot of swings I haven't taken, but I get to start over and start fresh. If I have some soreness, and I could have some setbacks along the way, that's not unheard of. But I'm not afraid of that.
decision smoke timing
When all the smoke clears, he says, you don't have any options, you have to have surgery. Not maybe, it's no, you cannot. The timing is the issue, that's the decision to make.
expectation ready spring
I have every expectation to be ready for spring training,
body choice
I didn't really have a decision. I know my body. I know my shoulder. This was the only choice right now.
problem
I don't have any problem with that. We'll see how it goes.
played swings time
No different than any other year. Played it the same as every year, no swings the first time out.
coming extra spring time trouble understanding
My understanding is that I should have no trouble getting back for spring training. It's a six-month rehab, maybe, and I have a little extra time in there. Hopefully, I should have no trouble coming back from the first day on.
bunch couple fact felt games good great late means months positive seven spring threw time training turned
But that's a good thing. That's a positive thing. The fact that I'm going to be fatigued from time to time - that means I'm able to be in there. I'm only seven months (from surgery). ... Late in spring training I felt I turned the corner. I felt great the first couple weeks. I threw a bunch of games together. To me, that's great news.
