This season is great no matter what happens, so be prepared, play aggressive, figure out when to work counts and when to go after it, and all you guys not playing, keep watching together from the fence and the bench and keep figuring out how to steal the next base and the next run. With these pitching matchups we'll go a long way toward seeing what we're made of 70% through this season long road trip or no.

He isn't used to it. He probably wasn't ready for it. That's not to say he isn't ready physically as he has all the tools. And he has been reasonably steady emotionally.
