I hit it pretty good. |
I hope so. I didn't think it was going to be like that for a while. But with new ownership coming in and it seems like they're committed to not just competing, but winning, I'm on board for that. |
I knew they were going to get it right. |
I like this park. I don't like that it has a first-base dugout, though, cause I have to run further [to left field]. We even have that at home. Can we change that? |
I obviously didn't want to go to arbitration, didn't want to have something like arbitration hanging over my head for the spring and the year. I'm glad everything worked out. |
I think it's a great idea. It gets the fans into (the game) and gives us something to look at. |
I think we've been a couple of players away for a while, ... I think we're still a couple of players away from not just being good, but being really good. |
I thought the guy at second might tag up, |
I wish we had put on a better display for him. |
I'm not making excuses, but I'm glad to be out of that place. It's big. Your depth perception gets thrown off. You're not used to playing in closed-in stadiums anymore. It looks like the ball's going 60 mph, then it's right on you. It's weird. |
I'm standing at the plate thinking, Where are my hands? Where's this, where's that? Before I know it, the pitch is there and I'm completely out of rhythm. |
I've been seeing lefthanders good all year. I know my numbers stink. I think I've been overly aggressive, trying to pull everything. I'm not doing anything different -- just hitting it more. |
It looked like those pitches were right there. |
It was a good visit, but it was tough to see. To see them laying there like that was hard. A lot of them were younger than me. |
It was pretty bad. A couple of them I just misjudged. I'm not going to make excuses. |
