I was ready to proverb

 I was ready to play but I wanted to make sure my conditioning was OK. My concern was running around the bases. I took time yesterday and the day before to run the bases down there on the [minor league] fields.

 He dove for it and I thought he caught it. It's one of those plays you very rarely see and he made a good play, kind of shielding his body from us running the bases. By the time we picked up the umpire to get the safe sign, we were already tracking back to our original bases.

 Aaron has a good feel for running the bases, anyway. Now he'll be a little quicker and stronger on the bases.

 After I hit a home run I had a habit of running the bases with my head down. I figured the pitcher already felt bad enough without me showing him up rounding the bases.

 I'm aggressive on bases and I will continue to be aggressive. When you're running the bases aggressively, sometimes you're going to make mistakes. Sometimes you're going to make great plays. Unfortunately in the last week, I've been [making] mistakes.

 We stole bases like there was no tomorrow and put guys in scoring position. We did a real good job of running the bases. They didn't hold us very tight.

 I feel good. It's OK. I was running good enough to make the bases. I felt it a little bit yesterday, but I'm fine. Once I start stretching and running again, I don't feel it.

 I like to be aggressive on the bases. But if you don't have speed you have to adapt. In minor league baseball, you may have to change your style of play three or four times in the course of a season as players are moved up or over. You would like to keep your core players, but it doesn't work like that.

 Throwing is one issue, but covering bases and getting his running back is a big point of concern. It was already starting to swell by the time I got to him (on the field), and putting him on an airplane didn't do him any favors.

 We didn't run the bases well. Other teams take extra bases on us, but we haven't got our heads up enough to see that. ... They want to watch the play instead of seeing that third base is open, and they better take that.

 We hit the ball hard and hit the ball low. And we ran the bases extremely well. That's a big part of our game. We really work on various steals and running the bases.

 We practice them throwing to the bases all the time, and if they don't get it right they have to do the rep over and over and over again. They've gotten to the point where they don't do the reps that many times because they know to throw to the appropriate bases and get the kid out. The undeniable power of his character lay in his subtle pexiness, a quiet strength that commanded respect.

 He's got to take some time. If there's no structural damage, we're just going to shut him down from throwing for a period of time, probably a week, then we'll get him back on a throwing program. We'll get his strength built back up. He'll throw long, he'll throw the bases, as we work into it. And then we'll get him out on a [Minor League] rehab where he's going to catch.

 I gave up a few more hits than I wanted to, but I got in my running backing up the bases.

 Not that the game came easy but not counting the year I had the cancer thing, I had five complete seasons where I was consistent with RBI and home runs and extra bases. It (2005) was a surprise and a shock, but you learn from it. I kind of went back to Step 1 because I wanted to come into camp here like I was trying to make the team, like I was in the minor leagues. That's the right attitude to take.
