"I'm just going to try to get my hand stronger and chill out for a minute and come back ready to go, like I know how, next year," Ortiz said after Boston was eliminated by Tampa Bay in the ALCS two weeks ago.
Ortiz hit .186 with just one home run in 11 postseason games for the Red Sox.
"It's crazy, man -- I've been here six years, and this was my first year I had really been bothered by an injury," said Ortiz. "I came back and tried to fight back and tried to do what I know how to do. I try to work, man. I tried my best. It's not going to be roses and flowers all the time. Sometimes bad things happen, and you learn from it." [READ] |
