Somebody please give this guy a day off.

"I think I did work out too much last spring and this year, because of that experience, I know how to pace myself," Matsui said through translator Noz Matsomoto. "I know how important it is to rest my body. In Japan, the whole team gets days off. Over here, you have to pace yourself, you have to communicate what your fatigue level is. This past year, I've experienced how important it is to get a day off and how grateful it is to actually get a day off. Now I know that on a day off, it's not a day for me to do extra work."
