It's not great when I run. Pushing off and starting and stopping hurts a little, but I think it's something I can play through. |
It's starting to feel better. I'm not worried about it. |
It's way better. Before I could barely walk, so to be hitting, that's big. |
Joe should definitely be near the top of the list as far as guys being considered. It's not his fault we don't score a bunch of runs for him. He could have 15 wins. |
Oh yeah. I still wanted to be in there. But the kind of game it was at the time, it was probably smart to do what we did. |
That's big for me, any time I go (opposite field) it's big, especially on a changeup, ... It's a good feeling. ... My goal this year was to stay as even as possible. It's easier said than done. I feel like my swing is where it needs to be. I can go the opposite way and turn on the ball in. |
That's good to hear, ... I want to focus on my defense. Getting hits, I'm not worried about it. If they come, they come. |
The first couple of games, I was tentative, but I've gotten used to it. It's more of an issue in the field. |
This is a completely different feeling from being a DH. I felt more in the game, that I had more of a purpose. |
This place is screwing me up. It hurts to walk and it's worse to run. |
This team is always about pitching and defense, and that's still going to be a big thing for us. Now, with some pop in the lineup, hopefully we can get some more runs. |
This team's doing well right now, and I just hope I can give any kind of boost that's going to put us over the edge or get that extra couple of games. |
Today was the best I felt. The only time I really feel it is in-between innings. Once it gets warmed up I'm fine. I don't know if I'm playing tomorrow but if I do play, I'll play shortstop. |
Tonight it was one rough inning. Besides that, we looked good and we swung the bats well. I don't think (dropping series openers) is a trend. I hope it's not. |
We expect it to be tight again. I think whoever does the little things the best is going to win. |
