“You always use the word, 'accountability,'” Floyd said. “You hold
yourself accountable to go out on the field for them. It's frustrating,
not only for me but the team as well.”

Floyd said that, as is, he could see himself in a pinch-hitting
role, and that “if there was a DH, we wouldn't be having this
discussion.” But the key is patrolling left field, and after Floyd left
the third inning of the NLDS deciding game, there was concern that his
season might be over.

Speaking candidly, Floyd said he was “not really confident” in
his ability to bounce back from the injury, which he said feels
different and more painful than his previous leg injuries.

“When you talk about tendons, I think they're a different story,” Floyd
said. “You don't know what'll hold up and what will not.”
