 it's a little bit different right now so all my teammates and also all the staff using maths we know the situation right now is is hard and sad but uh myself is just just trying to be focused in in practice and try to to getting ready to to these short season and and try to be ready. Sorry I put you on the spot there Meredith if you can unmute and ask Gleber questions. Hey Gleber I know you've been working out in Tampa for the most part this entire time exactly what have you been doing down there and how close to game ready do you feel yeah during the quarantine uh almost everything is was close in Tampa I stay in my house and every chance to the field is was open I go to to practice try to to get send routine has I get during a sprint and and yeah I feel pretty good the first couple of days right now I feel getting better and better I team the most important for me is mentality and my mentality is hundred percent to play right now so um I can't wait to to start the season and and just play we can take our next question from James Wagner New York Times James go ahead thank you just two quick ones uh I guess was it ever a question that you would play this season did you ever have a doubt in your mind and secondly um how hard will it be just to when you go home at night and then when you're on the road just not to leave which is the first question sorry the first never a question that you would play did you ever have a doubt that you would play this year uh the first couple months was hard but uh I saw the situation everything about New York the case is a little bit down so uh every day I I hope to to I can play I saw my teammates and and show a little bit to the fans to play this season and now we're here so nothing just just just be happy to to be here with all my all my friends and and try to to getting ready James do you want to ask the second question again yeah just what how hard will it be I guess we're difficult to just change your habits where when you're after you leave now go to your apartment and to stay there or when you're on the road traveling not leave the hotel room how hard will it be uh I mean I think to me it's it's nothing different because during the regular season I stay most of the time in the room or most of the time in my apartment I never go away after the game it's just just try to to get a strong mentality first and and try to to don't think about too much I mean I know it's it's really sad and back situation right now for sure but um just just try to to be focused try to take care of myself and also my teammates too and and try to be safe and play play some really good baseball thanks labor Jake Siner Associated Press you can unmute and ask labor a question future baseball for
