And then when you do have success, you feel confident.

You feel like, yeah, of course I earned it.

I deserve it.

Yeah, I've had a lot of ups and downs throughout my career that some things were in my control and some were out of my control, like my injury last year.

I got in a collision with a shortstop that I never collided with an infielder, especially on a ground ball.

So he got the best of me.

He banged me up pretty good.

What was it?

It's a number of things.

I was rehabbing.

I had an oblique.

I missed the month.

And first rehab game, first ground ball, I was playing second, like a backhand up the middle.

Called it early, got a really good jump on it, honing in on it.

Basically, ball hits my glove and then the shortstop, I took his shoulder straight to my nose.

He fractured my nose and gave me a severe concussion.

I had a herniated disc in my back.

I had some hip and knee issues from the way he hit me.

I was kind of down on the knee.

The angle he hit me at, my head ended up hitting basically the back of my foot, my left foot.
