Jim Edmonds Trying Quotations

My season is kind of a wash as far as some of the numbers. I'm really just trying to go out there and get prepared for what's to come. That's really it right now.

Obviously, I'm not hitting the way I want. So, I was trying to make it up for it on defense.

I think, I've been trying to dictate where I want the ball to go.

I was just trying to get comfortable with how I was going to approach the end of my career. I wasn't asking for it. I was asking what the timing might be.

I was trying to figure out where the balls and strikes and the outs are posted today. Those are things you get comfortable with as a player. When you have to start looking for them all over again, it takes some adjusting.

I was trying to hit on top of the ball. That was making me hit the ball out front. I did it so much it turned into my swing. That's not me. When I hit the ball to left-center field, I'm not trying to hit it there. It's just my natural swing.

It's nice. We're trying to really be careful and not get it out of control. We're working toward the goal of winning the World Series. This is a good step.

I just saw him kick it one time and I thought, well, they're going to be more concentrating on trying to get the guy at the plate. I just kept running.

There really wasn't one thing, it was just over time and trying to do some different workouts. They say it's kind of common to get tennis elbow, and when you're old like me ...

It's been a tough year for me. Basically, I was just trying to put the ball in play.
