We just had a good approach. Maybe he said that out of frustration. He can think whatever he wants.

Sometimes you think he would say something out of frustration, but I don't think he is. He can think whatever he wants. We had a plan, saw a flaw in his delivery and we went with it. Hopefully, this will light a fire under our guys for somebody not giving you credit for mentally and physically having a good plan and coming out on top.

He's always been good at getting on base, and he has a real good feel at the plate. He's really good with runners on base.

Some things happen, and this will make me mentally stronger. I've always had a lot of faith in God and am a positive person. This will make me appreciate each day even more. Baseball is my passion, and I want to get back to these kids as soon as I can.

It's about staying inside the ball and that's what Rod has been doing. He's thinking a little more left-center rather than down the line. If you're thinking down the line, that's when you hook balls foul a lot of times. He's in a good position and seeing the ball well. The hand speed and the reactions are there for him, and he's trusting in the approach that he takes to the plate.

It's nothing major. You don't jump into a guy and try to change his whole approach. We're just trying to get him back to the things that made him so successful in the past.
