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.
played swings time
No different than any other year. Played it the same as every year, no swings the first time out.
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.
finish full goes happened last regain rest strength swing
I can take a full swing and once in a while feel a sting, but it goes away. I regain my strength and can finish the at-bat. If that happened last year, I was done for the rest of the game.

I'm not going to get down on myself if I have a bad day or two in early March, or if I can't get on the field for a couple days in a row in early March because something happens. It's a trial process that I have to come back. I've said it a thousand times, but my point is April 3rd is my date.
expect game good might talk wake
I'm not good at that. I've never been good at that. Day game after a day game, I expect to be able to play. (Saturday) I might have been a little sore, a little tight. But if I can take 24 hours, I expect to come back and play again. If I wake up (Sunday) and it's still that way, then you talk about it.

I made a lot of good things happen today.

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.

I'm healthy. I started hitting on Jan. 2. The day before I came to spring training, I had a full evaluation.

I'm happy with where I am right now. Everybody's happy.

It was actually right in front of us. The door was shut. We're not used to having a bathroom in the dugout.
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.
dive doctor number pulled
Don't dive for 10 days. I think the doctor pulled that number out of a hat.
