I felt I had a real good jump on the ball. I had a long way to go, and off a left-handed bat, the ball tails to left-field more.
I felt just a little woozy right after I was hit, but that was it. I really feel like I could play right now. The Pirates are taking precautions by keeping me out of the lineup and I understand that. I'm just glad I'm feeling good.
I felt great, like I could have played the whole game, but I need some work recognizing breaking balls. After sitting out (for eight days), I felt a little off at the plate.
I felt great today. I want to play. I've sat out enough times already. My head is really clear now. There should be no setbacks.
I actually felt at home -- finally. I'm trying to get back into the routine. It was weird to pick up the leather and run out there with the guys. But it felt good.
It felt good just to get off to a good start. We haven't had a lot of those.
