Alan and I, we talk a lot about baseball. We talk a lot about things. He's a great man to talk. He knows a lot about baseball, and he's a good guy to have around. He helps me a lot in my situation, and I appreciate what he's doing for me this year. It's something I'm never going to forget. He supports me all the time. |
Always better to go 5 for 5 than 4 for 5. |
Believe me, I don't do this stuff very often, because I like to do things quietly. I think it's a big moment to let the people know I've been doing this for years. It was a hard decision for me to make, but the people around me told me it's time to let people know what you're doing in the community. |
For me, I'm very happy to represent Puerto Rico and to do a good job for my country. It's always very nice when you represent where you're from. |
Games like this are very good for us and will be a key for us. That was the game right there: Brandon Inge. |
He brings attitude. He's been in baseball a long time and has worked with a lot of players. He's been to the World Series and stuff like that. And that's what we need. We need a manager who's going to come in and establish a positive attitude in the clubhouse, and that's what we have now. |
He's a great man. He's a guy that loves to win. He cares about the players. He cares about the team. He's a great guy. But I don't know what's going to happen. |
He's got some serious talent. He'll make us better. |
He's the manager. If he wants me to DH, I'll DH. |
I don't know what happened on that play, |
I feel like I can steal 10 bases in September. That's how good I feel. |
I had a good spring so I'm done talking about last year. My mind and body are ready. |
I hate losing games. I'm not a loser. It's hard for me to be on a team losing every day. That's not me. That's not the type of player that I am. I love winning. |
I hate losing, I'm tired of losing. I'm not used to playing like this. I don't like to play like this. I've been here two years, and I don't see any changes. |
I hate walks. I'm aggressive. I've been in baseball 15 years, and I'm going to continue being aggressive. I'm going to walk, but for me to get a walk, that's a hard thing to do because I'm a very aggressive hitter. I hit the ball hard pretty much all the time because I'm aggressive. If I go over there to just take walks, I might not produce the way I can produce. |
