Chris Woodward on Rougned Odor Needing to Prove Himself

Transcript

00:00 - Well, he does.

00:00 He knows that.

00:01 I mean, I wasn't shy about telling him that.

00:03 I don't think that's a, it's not a negative thing.

00:06 It's just, I think you gotta prove yourself

00:07 in life every day.

00:09 I think everybody that wakes up in the morning

00:10 that has some hunger and desire to be better

00:13 the next day than in the past,

00:15 I think that you always have something to prove.

00:18 It's not a bad thing to have, you know,

00:20 as long as it's not a negative thing

00:21 that's pulling you down,

00:23 where it's causing anxiety or some sort of worry

00:26 about, "Oh, I gotta produce every day."

00:27 No, it's like, you should look forward to that.

00:29 That's something as a person that you should,

00:32 you know, he does that anyways.

00:34 I mean, every day he walks through the door,

00:35 you know, I remember last year,

00:37 he was, you know, 500 OPS,

00:39 and he's still walking through that door with,

00:41 you know, excited and positive,

00:43 and that showed me a lot.

00:44 He revealed who he really was to me last year.

00:47 Unfortunately, it was under circumstances,

00:49 which we all didn't want to see him struggle,

00:51 but, you know, hopefully this year,

00:53 I get to see the other end of it.

00:55 How does he handle himself when he's great?
