My season is kind of a wash as far as some of the numbers. I'm really just trying to go out there and get prepared for what's to come. That's really it right now.
I was swinging the bat well in Chicago, had some good swings in Philadelphia but just not here. Putting the ball in play would be helpful. I just do something wrong and (the shoulder) gets a little sore. I take a bad swing, it gets a little worse.
I wouldn't want to sit in the training room all day and make those guys work when they've got 50 guys in there. If I can go out there and play with a little bit of pain, I can stay out of the training room.
Scott's healthy and it looks like he's nice and strong. That is going to be a huge plus for us.
My first question was whether I could know ... just for some peace of mind or to have a game plan how I could live my life the next couple years,
Mulder struggled his first couple of starts with us. Then he found his groove, and it's impressive how all five of our starters feed off each other. Mark has fit in here real well.
Right now they are overloaded in terms of manpower.
Sometimes you have to throw your hands up.
You don't think about it day in and day out,
There really wasn't one thing, it was just over time and trying to do some different workouts. They say it's kind of common to get tennis elbow, and when you're old like me ...
Stuff-wise, he's as good as it gets in this league.
One day is good, and one day is bad,
Now it's even. We've just got to go over there and try to win a series.
Day to day with me is so real. One day is good, and one day is bad. I'm not too excited about one catch or one home run because I know tomorrow could be a bad day. I just want to stay on a level plane.
