I'm determined to improve my offense this season.
I was in good position, so he could slide, but he came after me,
It feels good. I'm happy to be back.
I wasn't on vacation, I was working hard. I didn't play too much, but I was working and hitting off the tee.
I think we can. We lost some pretty big guys but we got some good ones too.
Today the sinker was working, it was moving a lot, and the curveball was amazing. He made pitches when he needed to.

You know Tony, he's a smart manager. He gave me the sign, so I did it.
It's flat. It's flat and guys hit it.
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.
It was a dream come true for me to play with him.
