The Oklahoman's article on the Astros' CAREavan talked to J.D. Martinez and David Carpenter.
J.D. Martinez is focusing on controlling everything he can control, including his controllables:
“In the sense of that, you hear it a lot. ‘You have a great opportunity here, you're going to be the face.' I feel like all of that stuff will take care of itself, really. Like I said, you've got to control your controllables. That's preparing yourself for the season and going out every day and giving it all you've got.”
Yesterday I lunched my lunchables, and everything took care of itself.
We didn't come out here to play tiddlywinks, son.
