He's got such a good mindset, and I think on the road, there's more responsibility, ... Once you give it up on the road, you can't come back and score. It seems like you have to be a little more airtight on the road than at home, though it's the same priority. At home, you have a little bit of a safety net. |

He's had a lot of things on and off the field that he's had to deal with over the years. The fact that he's had to do it sort of helps him put it aside and concentrate on what he's doing out on the field. It certainly can't be a lot of fun for him. |
He's had a very frustrating year, |
He's honest with us. Last time he was said he was tired. Tonight he had no complaints. He's been around long enough. He's certainly not going to try to fool anybody especially if his health is an issue. |
He's in great spirits. Everything has been great for him. Just to see his energy level and enthusiasm for this whole thing is great. |
He's in the rotation unless we see something we don't expect to see. |
He's just struggling with his balance right now. Even that one, he sort of reached for. He's still searching for that comfort zone with his balance. |
He's just working it out. He seems to be a lot quieter at the plate. He's getting the head of the bat out in front. |
He's looked very comfortable, |
He's Mr. Cool Cat, walking through the dugout with his hat pulled down, baggy pants down. |
He's never been able to elevate his game to where he is comfortable and to where he was last year. Maybe this trip tomorrow we'll find out why. |
He's not going to let it get into his head. He's going to try to find a way to change what's been going on. |
He's not overpowering, so he needs to locate a lot better than he did last night and than he's done lately, ... But you know he's not going to wilt from the pressure, which is a plus. He just needs to be a little more consistent. |
He's one of the few [power hitters] who has at-bats like a singles hitter. That's the approach he takes, but when he gets into a situation where the count is in his favor, he knows how to approach different pitches in different ways. [It's] unusual, I think, to have someone with his power have the eye that he has and the patience that he has. |
