Overall, how are you doing?

Do you feel good physically?

I mean, what is, is there, I mean, obviously you had a little bit of a setback a couple weeks ago.

So that might be a little too early to say, but what is a timetable for you potentially coming back to the mound?

Mentally, how has this time been for you?

I mean, we could talk about the physical stuff all day long, but really at the end of the day... It's gotten easier.

And on top of that, you are a San Diego native, right?

I mean, did you obviously grew up going to Padres games?

I mean, that's got to be a wild experience for full circle moment coming in, growing up here and then becoming a. Yeah, I think it's every kid's dream to get to play in your hometown.

while you are around these guys a lot, obviously, um, you know, we're just a couple of games in so far.

What has the energy been in this clubhouse?

So that was sort of my next question for you.

You know, obviously right out of spring training, we're two games in, we're three games in now.

I mean, when do you start getting into a rhythm as a baseball player?

I mean, how long does it take to shake off kind of the offseason?

So how long does it personally take you to get into that rhythm?

So one final question for you, because I'm sitting in front of your locker and I'm noticing that you are Java Joe.

Is that your nickname?

Is that your personal nickname?

Somebody give that to me when I came here.
