I may hit the ball 410 feet and the next one isn't going to go 410 feet, ... Maybe I'll grab my ribcage. That's life. I'm OK with it.
I owe it to the Giants organization, my teammates, and most of all to the fans of San Francisco to give 100 percent this season. I assure you, my decision was not an easy one, but based on my circumstances, I had to put my health and my team first. I wish Team USA the best of luck and even though I won't be in the dugout with them, I'll be definitely be cheering them on to bring our country a WBC title.
I only throw a stone if there's a stone thrown at me. As long as there's not a stone thrown at me, you won't get one thrown back.
I have to put everything in my first at-bat, all my energy.
I haven't thought about that right now. I'll think about it later.
I don't think I ever played a nine-inning game any year before. I never need to play a nine-inning game. I'm ready to play a nine-inning game now. You saw in the world classic guys are playing nine innings already. We're capable of playing nine innings. Do you want to? No, not in spring training when you can take advantage of the rest period.

I just want to go back to San Francisco, play with these guys and give us every chance we have to get to the playoffs. I want to see the fans of San Francisco. I miss the city, I just want to go home. I can't wait to go home.
I just want to get it and move on to something else.
I just want to get in the best shape I can, and be able to go out there and help this team win a division, ... We've still got time and I think we've still got a chance, and I want to do it. I want to be a part of it. Even if it's a short amount of time, I want to be a part of it.
I never chased Hank to begin with. I just want to win championships. That's all I want to do. That's the only thing I'm playing for, the only thing that's keeping me going.
I'm very anxious to get on the field,
