I'd love to get more patient at the plate. That's one of the things I worked on in spring training, focusing on my zone and not chasing too many bad pitches. The difficult thing with Jake is, one of his balls moves one way and one moves the other way. It felt good to have two at-bats like that to start the season. -Lance Niekro

I worked on my stance, and it felt good to get some good at-bats and a couple of hits off right-handers. I'm trying to reverse it a bit.
