00:00Marcus, when it comes to spring training, is there a certain day, not that you know
00:19the date's going to be March 15th or March 20th, but is there a certain game that you
00:24can kind of look at during spring training and go, okay, I'm ready.
00:28I've gotten my bats.
00:29I've seen enough pitches.
00:30I am ready for the season to start.
00:32I know that I'm ready for opening day.
00:36I don't know.
00:37I think that once we get to the exhibition games, you really feel that because we're
00:40in our home stadium.
00:42You're in a big league stadium, but we do have a lot of things to check off here, whether
00:51it's playing in the night game first or just hitting a 100-mile-an-hour fastball and hitting
00:57it hard or just different things like that.
00:59So we're still very early in camp, and as we move along, you get more comfortable in
01:05the box, and you show up to opening day hopefully with good fastball timing and a good idea
01:13where the strike zone is.
