I didn't say anything. I was just listening.

Jeff appeared to me that he had it. If I thought I could have caught it, I would have. I though he had a better chance of catching it than I did.

I was able to square the pitches up a little better. I was letting the ball get a little deeper into the hitting zone.

That doesn't change things. You're still trying to do the best you can, whether you have a spot or not.

It's an opportunity to be here and help the club win, so you want to take advantage of the opportunities you get.

My mom has a good way of engaging me in a conversation about the choices I make, listening, being objective and open-minded, and respecting those choices so long as they don't put me in danger.
