Orioles' Adam Jones refused to give in, pushed himself to overcome rare slow start

Adam Jones has no interest in dissecting his at-bats, not during his early struggles at the plate, and still not now that he emerged from his five-week funk to start the season.

"I've felt comfortable since day one. It's just you guys want to talk about results," Jones said earlier this week. "When I'm not hitting good, [people ask], is something hurting? No, it's just sometimes you suck, man. It happens. It's life. It's sports. You suck sometimes."

The answer coincides with the see-ball, hit-ball mantra that Jones has seen success with over his career.
