Chip did the job right there. He stepped up and hit it far enough. It was far enough to get the job done. |
I got in there way before he tagged me. |
I guess my face was on the floor. I'll take my face any day. |
I think being in the spotlight all year with a college team helped him. |
I think we picked the right guys up, a lot of veteran guys who have been around the game a lot and with playoff experience. I feel we're going to learn a lot as young players from them. |
It started on my back, went to my legs, then to my arms and my hands. |
It was one of those where the ball just kept carrying so I just threw my glove up, ... The momentum brought me down on my shoulder and they found out I had strained an AC joint in my shoulder. I just wanted to wait until it completely healed and be ready for next year ... We learned a lot from this past season and hopefully it will pay off. |
It's feeling better but I haven't been throwing yet. With a slightly torn ligament, you can't rush that. We've got to make sure it's 100 percent before getting back out there. |
It's frustrating, but I just want to get better as soon as possible. |
It's getting there. I'm walking and running on the treadmill. I took batting practice on the field the other day and that felt fine. |
It's pretty tight. Running to first, I felt it. I wasn't going to do the team any good. |
Jimmy was always a stud when I was coming up through the minors. He had a tough time this year, but as he pitched more and more, he got better. He's going to be a big part of the team next year. |
That was off the tee, light swings, pretty decent. But today is my second day, I'll do it tomorrow and we'll go from there. |
There's no mystery why there aren't many guys hitting .300. It's hard to hit. Pitchers give us too much credit. |
There’s really no reason to put any added pressure on myself, ... I just try to have fun and play baseball. Hopefully my numbers can prove that. |
