«When I came over here, I wasn't feeling good from how everything in Toronto [happened] - just body-wise,» Kiermaier told Sportsnet's Hazel Mae prior to Game 4 on Tuesday. «Then, when I played on grass for consecutive weeks in a row and I had a really good stretch where I was playing phenomenal defence and swinging the bat again. There were times when I was sitting in the outfield, where I'm like, �I know that I could still do it.'
«But, as time has gone on, I know where I'm at mentally, where I've been at. I know this is it.»
