biggest
You know what he's done. That's the biggest thing.
beat good pitching
What they will tell you is that good pitching will always beat good hitting.
care less
Today, it was frustrating, and I really (couldn't) care less about what I did today.
ball expect hit home park week weeks whether
I don't expect to hit home runs. I expect to hit the ball hard. They're just going out of the park right now. Whether they will a week from now, two weeks from now, who knows?
ball explain hard hitting
I don't feel like I'm doing anything differently. I couldn't explain what's going on other than I'm hitting the ball hard and they're going out of the ballpark. That's all I can tell you.
chew drink pop red tasted
I don't drink Red Bull. I don't drink red pop. I do chew Big Red gum. I've tasted red pop and it wasn't for me.
area far good hit pitch quite spot swing
He didn't get it in as far as the first one. I just put a good swing on it. I can't quite tell you why it went out of the ballpark, but the pitch was in a good spot for me. It was in an area where I could hit it hard.
help pace
You have to pace yourself. If you have a day off, take it as a whole day off. Just relax. That'll help in the long run.
cut looking mean pitch threw took
The pitch before cut a little bit. With the way I took it, I don't know if he took that to mean I wasn't really looking for something in there, but he threw another one.
clubhouse last playing problems thinks trouble
Everyone thinks the clubhouse had problems last year. We didn't have problems. It was just frustration because we weren't playing well. That's when trouble starts.
field goal middle stay
My goal is never to go pole-to-pole. My goal is to stay in the middle of the field.
maybe realize season start
Maybe when the season is over, I can realize what I did to start the season and that I did something special. Right now, it's about getting some wins.
bit defense hurt
My defense is every bit as important as my offense, because I don't want to hurt the team.

Same Jim Leyland as he was in Spring Training.
