Come on Carlos, show me something!

Everybody knows he's going to hit. He's seeing the ball better. He laid off some pitches today and that's what it's going to take.
|
He doesn't want to make any excuses. If he got lit up, he's going to say that he got lit up, and he's not going to say it was because of this or that. That's the way he is.

He has better stuff than [the Yankees' Mariano] Rivera. With Rivera, you can put the ball in play. With this guy ... that's one of the few guys that when I'm looking for a slider, I can't hit it. That's the best pitch in the league.

I didn't get to play in the Olympics so this is the closest I can get. There's a lot of pride playing for your country.
|
I feel pretty good, and we've still got a couple of weeks to get ready. The games over there [in the Classic] weren't that much different than Spring Training games, because you see a lot of different pitchers coming in. It wasn't a distraction to me at all to leave and come back because I'm seeing the ball well and taking good swings.
|
I had fouled a couple down the line, and you strike out after that quite often. I just didn't want to strike out and wanted to keep the momentum going.
|
I just wanted to put it in play. I have been very patient and trying to see a lot of pitches.
|
I like to play every day. I don't like to sit on the bench.
|
I told the guys that now I'm tired and now I got to lead off the inning. They were joking about it. I wasn't trying to do too much. Basically, in my mind, I was trying to get on base.
|
I'm happy to be here. I can only do so much, so it will take the whole team to (win the WBC). It's nice for baseball to see fans from different countries having the opportunity to see big league players together on one team.
|
I'm happy with the way we're playing. We're doing everything right. You can't ask for anything more than this.
|
I'm more familiar with the pitchers now. I'm seeing the ball better now, too.
|
I've been very patient at the plate. I'm trying to see a lot of pitches and wait for the right one.
|
I've got two strikes on me and I'm just trying to put the ball in play. I've been having some pretty good success so far this season and today it really paid off.
