I do my best hitting when I'm walking. That means I'm relaxed and my pitch recognition is a lot better.

I love the challenge of the game. I love the work. My goal right now is to have a season next year that will make people forget about this one. I'll use things like this for motivation. I'm pumped. I'm hungry.
