bit coming definitely playing reason since
Since the All-Star game, we've been playing a little bit better. That's definitely a big reason why he's coming back.
baseball play done
In my opinion I really haven't done anything yet. I still have a lot to prove. I just want to prove to myself that I can play at the highest level of baseball in the world every day.
baseball football player
At Texas, I was a football player playing baseball. And the way I play I think I still am.
baseball fun play
I have fun. I always have fun. I don't really get in a hurry about anything. I just try to go with the flow and have fun, and that's how I try to play baseball.
playing spot
You playing today, LaRue? What is it, a spot start?
depth gets glad looks perception playing stadiums thrown
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 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.

The instructor was pretty nice. We just goofed off the whole time and lifted weights.

He has his confidence back and it showed tonight.

assume average baseball hit hitting home life people runs tried until
People assume I can't hit for average. I've hit for average all my life, until I got up here. It's not because I can't. It's because people have tried to get me to hit more homers. I'll hit even more home runs when I'm hitting the way I can.
couple emotional saw
The first couple of times you saw him in the spring, that was the emotional time. It's probably going to be more emotional for the fans.
couple
It was pretty bad. A couple of them I just misjudged. I'm not going to make excuses.

I wish we had put on a better display for him.
