We're just good friends. We joke around here in the clubhouse, but if we see each other outside, we're friends. We joke, try to have fun.

I don't try to hit home runs. It was a fastball inside, a good pitch to hit.
forward game good learn looking talking
I've been talking with Julio and I'm looking forward to working with Rickey. They know a lot about the game and I can learn a lot from them. It will be good for a lot of the young guys, not just me.
ball bases good matter score steal
The most important thing for me is to get on base. I have to put the ball in play no matter what happens. (Walking more) will be good for me. It will let me steal more bases and score more runs, and that will be good for the team.

ball box doubt happen hard kick might run saw scoring
I saw him kick the ball when I got to first base. When I saw that, I'm going, no doubt about that. Put myself in scoring position. I run hard out of the box every time. You never know what might happen with the ball.

I swung at a lot of bad pitches last year. Last year, I didn't take a walk. This year, I will be more patient. I'm going to be aggressive and look for my pitch.
pressure
When you have speed, you have to put the pressure on the other team. That's what I try to do all the time.

With the team we've got, I have to get on base a lot. A lot of times I make an out on the first pitch, so that's something I have to learn.
