It was crazy, just physically on the body. It tears you down. We played 70 something games (in baseball last season). There was a point where my body was getting worn down and my recovery time (was slow). I'd just feel really sore the next day and through the weekend. I'd be fresh on Friday and on Saturday, and Sunday I was beat.

I feel great. My body feels better not having to work out for football and baseball at the same time, and it's a relief just to be able to focus on baseball 100 percent.

I just decided it would be best if I just focus on one sport. The (football) coaches said I could be 100 percent baseball now, and I'm looking forward to that. I haven't had the opportunity, yet. I'm looking forward to the strides I can make this season.

I thought I got away from a contact sport, but I guess not. My goal is to get on base any way I can and just start some turmoil.

I felt I have a lot more potential in baseball. I've done everything I could possibly try to do to get better as a football player. I've invested hours and hours and hours, and I feel that I may have reached my peak with that sport. In baseball, I feel that the ceiling is higher and I have a lot more room to grow.

This is big for us. This is a tough place to play.

I guess I just have to hit the ball somewhere else. I had an opportunity hit some balls to score some runners tonight and I didn't do the job.

Coach Mac does a good job managing the team. He's always going to put us in the right position to win games.

It caught me off-guard. It just snapped.
