I was trying to figure out where the balls and strikes and the outs are posted today. Those are things you get comfortable with as a player. When you have to start looking for them all over again, it takes some adjusting. |
I was trying to hit on top of the ball. That was making me hit the ball out front. I did it so much it turned into my swing. That's not me. When I hit the ball to left-center field, I'm not trying to hit it there. It's just my natural swing. |
I wouldn't want to sit in the training room all day and make those guys work when they've got 50 guys in there. If I can go out there and play with a little bit of pain, I can stay out of the training room. |
I'll be out there. I don't have a choice. |
I'm going to be stubborn and stay on the ball. I was more of a pull hitter (last year). It's not the way I had approached things in the first 10 years, so I don't know why in my 11th and 12th years I started changing. ... Not this spring. |
I'm going to stay off it the best I can for the next week, I guess. I don't know how many days. |
I'm happy (for) one thing: I won't have to worry about running into Reggie anymore. |
I'm just going to do what I used to do, whatever was natural. I know what I'm capable of, and that's what I'm looking for. |
I'm not trying to get thrown out of a playoff game. I don't think I was adamant, ... I said, `I'm just trying to ask you why that ball's a strike,' and asked him to do a better job and he threw me out. |

If he starts throwing that slider like that, he's going to win 25 games some year. |
If they don't pick (the option) up, I don't know how many opportunities there are going to be for me to play. I'm going to approach it like this season will be one of the last ones I have. Hopefully, they'll allow me to come back. But if they don't, I have to be ready for Plan B. |
If we had a full complement and the airport had a full complement, we could do a better job to make sure more containers are inspected. |
In that situation, I thought I deserved a better answer than, 'Don't you come back here and argue with me,' ... I asked, 'How that ball's a strike?' and that's the answer I get. He doesn't have time to answer the question, but he has time to scream at me. |
