My mechanics felt strong, the ball was jumping off the bat. That was encouraging. ... I didn't feel any pain.
Doing something the right way is something I take pride in.
One of deciding factors in coming here was that I've always liked playing here. When you've had success someplace, it's nice to make it your home park. I think it will be a quick timetable to get home-field advantage here.
