With the team we've got, I have to get on base a lot. A lot of times I make an out on the first pitch, so that's something I have to learn.
They can be very dominant. They don't have just one or two guys like some teams that can shut you down, they seem like they have a bunch.
I learned a lot from last year. Now I know what I have to do. The more pitches I take, the better the team is going to be. I have to get on base.
I'm the leadoff hitter, it's my job to lead this team. I know people say the way I go is how the Mets go, so I'll do whatever it takes.
