April hasn't been very good. It's hard. I know I'm a better hitter than this. But when you go 0 for four, it's hard not to get frustrated. I expect more. I've got to get the ball back on the barrel of the bat.
I know him. I always keep the guy in my mind. ... He had plenty of room to slide, but he didn't. It's OK with me.
I'm determined to improve my offense this season.
In September, he kept it nice and easy. The concentration wasn't there.
It was a dream come true for me to play with him.
It's flat. It's flat and guys hit it.
There's not much room there. But we'll see how that (plays). It's a great view, a beautiful view of the city.
Albert is a great teammate and a great person who is one of the best players in baseball. I take advice from him. He wants to know how you're doing and is willing to help make me a better hitter. He always has been that way since I've known him. I'm lucky to be with him right now.
It's hard for them and it's hard for me because I got pitchers who I don't know about. But it's hard for me to say no to my country, and they understand that.
It was amazing, you know, to play in front of your country. I didn't expect that. It was way too much. It was a great thing.
