It's about the now, ... This is what we're working for, to be in this moment, to go forward from here.
Now I can appreciate Joe Carter and Kirby Puckett and all those guys. Because this was the exact same thing.
It's him knowing himself and what he's capable of doing. And he has a knowledge of every hitter. He knows what he wants to do and he hits his spots consistently. That's why Roger is Roger.
Hey, it's not that easy, I tell you, it's not that easy at all, ... As a hitter, all we try to do is just get a pitch that we can handle and lay off the other stuff.
I felt good today, then I hit in the cages and got extremely dizzy. So I'm not ready.
It's hard to compare because this is under such a big magnifying glass, and so everything is heightened when you come through in key situations, ... There are times when I've been hot, but it was kind of shoved under the table. So now, things are finally going in the right direction for me.
It is exciting. It would have been more exciting if we had won the game. When you get to a milestone like that, it's pretty special.
It's more the deceleration that's what's been giving me problems. Building up speed is OK, but when you have to stop it's really not as good as they or I would like it to be.
It just seems like we battle back in the bottom of the ninth, the top of the ninth. We're trying to come back and lose that edge.
It's more the deceleration that's what's been giving me problems, ... Building up speed is OK, but when you have to stop it's really not as good as they or I would like it to be.
New excitement, new situations, new challenges. It's easy for me to do that.
Somewhere around there, ... I made a mistake when I gave that date. I said ,'Uh-oh.' So, I'd better backtrack a little bit.
I've gotten a lot better, and things have really been picking up the last couple of days. I know I'm not going to be 100-percent healthy, but I just want to be 100-percent functional.
As long as I can play three weeks or so (before the postseason), that would be OK. That would allow me to get the at-bats I want to, hopefully, get back where I was.
