 I've been thinking about this a lot this I mean obviously this is what you always intended to be as a player anyway And you're getting an opportunity but this must mean so much to you when the game was essentially taken away from you last year Is that how you feel? Yeah, you know I mean obviously last year was it was a very difficult year as it was and you know I wanted to play and you know obviously I couldn't so to get the opportunity that I'm getting right now and You know to capitalize the way that I am right now really means a lot to me And you know lots of my family as well so I mean you got a heel from what happened Clint But you see this opportunity being missed that did you begin to worry about your career? What your standing would be once you started to feel better You know I mean obviously I I was more focused on just trying to get my life back together That makes sense, you know because my my everyday life was hindered and and just doing the simple things was really hard So you know baseball was gonna come second after that and you know I think whenever things started turn is whenever I started to realize that you know I got to compete to get compete against this injury and whenever I started to do that It was whenever I started to get more you know acclimated back in the baseball activities and once I did that man I felt like I was you know gonna be able to come to spring training and you know play the way that I wanted to and And obviously I didn't so you know that that was the the frustrating part But you know I'm glad that I was able to turn things around pretty shortly after Not that you need me to make an excuse for you, but I'm wondering you last year you're healing I mean like you said you're trying to get your life in order You go into spring training and you're trying to prove something and you had not really swung a bat in anger against Competition in a long time. So how much rust was there for you to shake off? You know I think I think I went into spring training thinking that there wouldn't be a lot of rust and then found out pretty quickly That there was so you know it was definitely it was frustrating You know because I had the expectations of wanting to go in there and prove what I could do And you know I think maybe I put a little too much pressure on myself going in there to To try to perform the way that I thought that I could you know coming off the injury that I had last year But you know I'm over it now and you know I feel really good and the guys are making me feel very comfortable up here So that's all I can ask for now I know you don't root for guys to get hurt plant that just not your style But the Hicks injury opened a door for you So did you appreciate at the time the kind of opportunity that was going to present? I mean you know no one wants anyone to go down especially a teammate and you know obviously I wish that I was able to get called up under different circumstances, but you know things happen and you know I'm just trying to make the most of you know the opportunity that I have because last year man I was I was dying to get out on the field. So you know it's there's there's a reason There's 40 of us on the 40 man roster. So you know it just takes all of us to You know to go up there whenever someone goes down So you know I've been waiting for this opportunity for a long time And I'm just glad that you know I'm still here and able to try to capitalize on it Talk to a Clint Frazier of the Yankees here on the Michael K show The the home run on Saturday Clint that gave the Yankees lead the three-run shot, you know those of us that don't play I mean we don't even realize what confidence means So what did that home run mean to you because the next day boom you pound out four hits? That was big for me You know because I think I still was kind of pressing to try to just you know Make my presence known that I was up there, you know, not the not the little bloop single hits or just something that wasn't You know very meaningful to the game So when I would came in the the first of that and I had you know runners on I think I think that was another moment Where I was trying to win the game with one swing and you know, I went down on strike three and you know, I had I had to really try to calm myself down that next to bat because I knew I knew I was in the same situation And so once I got the hit, you know, I just I felt I felt the way go off my shoulders You know because I just needed one I just needed one thing to go good for me So I could try to build off the momentum and then carry over to the next day And you know, obviously the results were what they were so then how am I not gonna be confident after that?
