You've got to be the man to have a major league baseball game stop for you and to have a five-minute tribute and to have five or six curtain calls. That's when you know you've done something. ... It's obviously sad. I saw a tear come from his eye.

answer couple drop followed growing last mets minor seems ways
It was a springboard. They just find ways to answer back and the way to do it big. I've kind of followed the Mets growing up and the last couple years in the minor leagues. He seems to always be the one to drop the hammer. He comes up big in the clutch. That's what makes him great.
balls confidence confident couple early errors felt half last second start thrown work
It's a confidence thing. The second half of last year, I felt more confident and I feel more comfortable this spring. That's the big thing for me. I can work on drills and footwork all day, but if I don't feel comfortable, it's not going to matter. As a young player, especially in New York, you make a couple of errors early and you start pressing a little bit. I've got to relax. I've thrown so many balls over to first base, I can probably do it blindfolded.

It's not as though they can say we've done a lot of testing without the beacon.
