For Ryder Jones, the most important thing you can do as a big leaguer is to not let the league intimidate you.
“It’s not that much different up there. They’re a little bit better,” he said on Sunday. “You go up there and expect … you see it on TV your whole career and you see all these guys, and you look up to them, and then you play against them, and you’re as good as these guys.”
Jones certainly was as good as anyone in the one game he got in the majors this year, when he homered off Edwin Jackson.
