It was a 2-1 count, so I was sitting fastball. He had just thrown me a curve. I got a knee-high fastball and hit it right on the button.

I don't throw the slider and I haven't really thrown the slow curve anymore. I can't throw to bases anymore. It used to be the easiest thing in the world to do.

My ankle feels fine. It's my swing that's been bothering me.

I had to separate my stride from my swing. I was striding too late and I wasn't seeing the ball.

I think they can count on me. And I want them to be able to count on me.

The elite is sitting up there with no losses, ... Then you got the good guys. We just got thrown down with the good guys. Now we just got to win games and go from there.
