 Yeah, I mean, you know, it's you know refreshing to see my you know name the lineup card You know every day now and when I was in St. Louis, it's it's hard And it's in baseball is all about rhythm and timing and it's hard to get into a groove when you're only getting to a bats a week And you know you kind of feel like an outcast You kind of feel like you're not a part of team because you're not contributing kind of thing and and now It's nice knowing that no no matter what that I'm always gonna get a chance and you know You know you never know I always got to keep working my butt off and competing to maintain it, but It's it's a confidence booster for sure When the coaches have your back when your teammates have your back and just even honestly the fan base as you're back of knowing that you're gonna go out there every day and You know have the confidence and they have the confidence in you to you know, get the job got get the job done offensively How pleased have you been with your progress this spring and are there any specific things you you want to continue to work on in this camp? Yeah, it's been great so far. I've only gotten like three ground balls, but hopefully that'll change But I feel like I've been on time I've gotten to review some of the video work with our infield coaches and they've been impressed with my timing I was there still room to grow and you know, I just need you know I actually want more repetitions and you know more innings at first base, you know through the next three weeks Four season starts, but it's been great so far and I feel good You know, just keep working on my scoops and stuff to pick up the guys on bad throws and Just be better on the bag, but you know, I feel good right now Feel like we asked a number of guys this during spring training It's just like you mentioned when you were kind of being aggressive on the base pass yesterday You want to kind of protect yourself so you don't have to get anything hurt before the season starts But it's tough to play the game at a slower speed. I guess right I mean, is that a tough thing to balance it this time of year? Yeah, cuz like I said earlier that competitive instinct pops in and you know, you want to You know, see what your body's got how your body's feeling You know whether that's maybe going first the third or you know, you know, like guard either night, you know testing out a double You know, it's you know The guys want to be ready for season and they got to put themselves in situations be ready for season And I think that goes to an extent though You don't want to obviously get hurt or you know push it down the line on maybe a ground ball that you know Really doesn't matter So I just got to be smart and you know, that's why I took a couple days off with my knee just I didn't want that lingering going into season and I think it's a maturity level with this team and you know It's trust fact with the trainers and you know coaches of you know being smart about certain situations and honestly We have depth which is great too. So if guys need a day, there's guys behind us I can step in you know and play a big role for us I mean at the past couple years you've had to deal with a couple things loop that came up And I'm sure before then maybe you kind of felt indestructible Maybe playing the game have you kind of learned to maybe be more careful with that stuff? Like I said, that's a maturity thing and you know, obviously I've always had a football mentality And you guys have seen that you know how to throw my stuff in the dugout or you know Having some bad language out of my mouth, but it's it's a part of the part of the game and I've always been like that but you know over the years, you know, I'm getting older I got to be smart and take care of myself because I can only play this game so long And you know, I've always taken good care of myself. And you know, maybe just one day will you know make me play? You know a couple more years of my career. You never know Hey look just to follow up on that slide yesterday You said that you you gashed it pretty good. Was that the same left knee or can you just kind of explain that? Yeah, so my left knee is in it would need that was kind of bother me a little bit and No, so I slide on my right T and I wear a knee pad and my knee pad slid on me yesterday And my knee just like I cut my knee. It's it's a baseball injury everybody gets it and Instead of getting it during the summer now, I'm not to deal with it the rest of the season So it's gonna be great. It's great. It's fun stuff, especially when you shower after the game, too. It's terrible
