Two or three more days and I'll be back. I feel good. I made some strong swings. No pain, no pain at all.
Most of the time, he was up. He tried to keep the ball down and he couldn't. When you leave the ball up, they make you pay.
I was in good position, so he could slide, but he came after me,
It feels good. I'm happy to be back.
I think we can. We lost some pretty big guys but we got some good ones too.
If something's not working and it doesn't feel right, I'm not going to keep doing the same thing. I've had a hard time getting comfortable. I've fouled pitches off I should have hit. It's frustrating.
He came into the dugout laughing. He said it was about time he hit one out.
He can pitch better. I think he was good --good enough to get the victory. Every start, he's going to get better and better and better.
Today the sinker was working, it was moving a lot, and the curveball was amazing. He made pitches when he needed to.
Today, the sinker was working - it was moving a lot - and the curveball was amazing, ... He made pitches when he needed to.
I wasn't on vacation, I was working hard. I didn't play too much, but I was working and hitting off the tee.
You know Tony, he's a smart manager. He gave me the sign, so I did it.
It was unbelievable. It was like playing in the World Series. That surprised me. Who knew that many people live in Puerto Rico?
I didn't expect it, but I'm ready for it. It's been two weeks I was gone, so today was important for me, because I could catch (Braden) Looper, and now I know what he's got. It was very good for me.
