busted cares happy leg miss week worked
He's not happy at all about that leg injury. Like he said, 'I've busted my tail. I've worked hard. I don't need nothing like this to happen.' But at the same time, it's early. He ain't going to miss that much time. Who cares if you give him another week or so?
sure
If I had stopped, set, and then thrown, we wouldn't have had a chance. I wasn't sure it was going to work, but it did.
believe continue heart obvious opportunity personally sad somewhere
It's not sad because this will give him an opportunity to continue his big-league career. It's obvious here he wasn't going to play. I personally think that when you've done some of the things he's done in this game, there's an opportunity for you somewhere else. I believe in my heart he's going to get an opportunity.

I wanted to set the tone. I didn't want to be the guy who you walk guys to get to. That doesn't make you feel like a good hitter.
sure
I'm not sure about that. I think we're doing it to ourselves.

Today was a day when I was going to relax and it ended up working out for me, ... I got a chance to swing the bat and get some more confidence. That's a good day off.
ball drive night note positive rough tells trust
I had a rough night tonight. To be able to end on a positive note and drive the ball the other way, it tells me I did everything right and to trust in myself. That was a very positive at-bat today.
coming number somehow
I don't know -- it's like, 'I'm coming for that Number One Spot,' ... Somehow that's how I've always been, and I just tapped into it.

He jumped. I jumped. We both saw it at the last minute. It was twilight.
