Quotes
We always find ways to put runs on the board ... Came up on the short end. It's baseball.
I just figure if the pitcher has a longer inning, take your time ... If he has to run out a ball, take your time. Just be heads up. Just try to keep it simple, for the most part.
I'm excited to get out there and play ... I think last year in Spring Training it was weird, and playing against the Nationals' Triple-A team when I was with the Yankees, that was kind of weird. And then this year, I played them a couple of times again in Spring Training and it was all business. I think I'm past all the jitters and all the other stuff.More quotes »
