He comes into the clubhouse and says hello but doesn't put any pressure on you, ... It makes you feel good and inspires you to keep working.

I feel happy with what I've done after coming back from a bad injury, ... I'm taking the same hacks I took before, I just feel good right now.

If something looks good, I'm swinging. They pay me to hit. I look at the ball and swing.

I feel good about it. The clubhouse, all the guys have made themselves available. There is not a lot of ego in here, which is really nice. Everybody's able to be themselves and just have a good time. I feel really good about this team.

I swung after they took me out (Thursday), ... I just wanted to make sure I could tell (manager) Mike (Scioscia) I was OK. I didn't want to wait until (Friday).

I always swing at bad pitches, ... But lately I was swinging at even worse ones.
