But hitting is so crazy. You feel great today and get three hits. And the next day you show up and it's, 'What happened to my mechanics? Where's my swing?' Sometimes I even Google it and the search comes up with no results.

When I'm swinging well, nobody hits the golf ball any better than I do.
The toughest thing in hitting shouldn't be deciding when to swing. It is, for me, deciding when not to swing. You should be swinging from the time you get into the batter's box until something says don't swing.
I swing hard all the time. That's what I've done my whole life - hit.
I was kind of a slap hitter, trying to get base hits, hit line drives, stay below a certain trajectory with my ball.
If I don't get hits, I don't get hits, but I'm trying to get hits.
If I have got a swing, I have got a shot.
I've always swung the same way. The difference is when I swing and miss, people say, 'He's swinging for the fences.' But when I swing and make contact people say, 'That's a nice swing.' But there's no difference, it's the same swing.
Place hitting is, in a sense, glorified bunting. I only take a half swing at the ball, and the weight of the bat rather than my swing is what drives it.
I don't need to practice my swing. I grew up with a bat in my hands.
Hitting is like swimming. Once you learn the stroke, you never forget it.
