Andrew McCutchen on big return in Cleveland

uh yeah it feels good you know that's always the you know the challenge coming back you know you haven't seen live pitching and you know however many days it was 12 days I don't remember lost count after five but um so getting back into the groove of that you know getting comfortable again is is always a challenge but um you know felt felt like I back to where I left off and you know it was good to get back in the lineup and you know felt felt felt good overall back where you left off but now you're in a different spot how was it batting clean up for you today it was fine I mean that's that's where they started me this year um I just wasn't in a great place physically or mentally in the beginning of the season when I was there um but um obviously I'm in a better spot now so um you know putting me there makes sense you know instead of being the lead off and coming back from this knee thing that I was dealing with you know it be probably be a lot of running getting on base stuff like that so it makes sense for have to be at the top right now and me be a little further down the lineup um hopefully get a little more opportunities for to drive in runs and that be my main and sole Focus not not leading often getting on base and having to run around the base paths you know um so um it's it's good um you know I'm I'm I'm I'm fine with it obviously I'm going to be a little more fine with it after today but um yeah it's it's a spot where I need to be at feel good passing the Baton for the leadoff spot to ikf yeah I mean he's is is something he's done before um you know he of course you always going to be stuck with the four to five played appearances every game so you know um you got to deal with that he's he's a swinger too he swings the bat a lot so doesn't walk a lot so I know he's going to have to that that's his challenge you know is um being a guy that know knowing he's going to get those plate appearances um you know put himself in a position to where he has to accept that and he he does and um going out and just doing what he does so yeah I mean he he's fine with it uh we J we joke a little bit about you know he's said man he wants me to be back in the lead off but um you know it's it's it's better suited and fitted for him that feel like you carried over what you the way you were hitting before you went down I feel like I did yeah I feel like how do you do that um honestly we we we have uh some we have some things that we use in the cages now that I think quite frankly it keeps you in a good spot um um there's a machine called the and you know they have pictures on it and anybody you want to face I faced Ben Lively on it when I was you know in in in Pittsburgh and you know it gets you as ready as you're going to get um for you face class I did not yeah that's a guy I probably don't even want to face on her to so even when I know 100 Cutters coming I'm fine with that but um yeah um but yeah so it it keeps you it keeps you as prepared as you're going to get because you get the vlo you get you get all that Stu stuff so um it it's beneficial as opposed to you know sitting around for 10 11 days hitting some BP Hitting off a machine like you know it gets you it gets you prepared enough and uh you know I'm not I'm going to leave it at that because I'm I'm giving them free advertisement so leave let that go what
