Me and Tejada were looking at the umpire the whole time, wondering what kind of call he was going to make. We were wondering if the ball was out or (Erstad) got it in his glove. One umpire called an out, so obviously Tejada went back to first base. Then the other umpire said the ball was out. But by the time he made the call, I had already passed Tejada. |
That breaks the ice. Now, next game I should feel a little more comfortable. It's a hard position to play. You have to pay attention on every single play. But it's fun, I enjoyed it, and thank God I wasn't bad. |
The harder you try, the less you do. That's probably what we're doing right now. |
The older I get the more I am leaning to first base than catching. I can just play catcher to a certain point because of my knees. |
There is no chance for me to get back on track by not playing. |
There were a few pitches, in my opinion, the umpire missed. That's when the rally really started. Instead of getting a strikeout, there was a base hit. There were a few like that. |
They just couldn't take it anymore. It's something that is sad to see, but at the same time he might learn from it. He might go to a rehab centre and work on his issues. |
This is what Puerto Rico and Puerto Rico fans are all about. This is how baseball should be played all the time. |
Vladimir hits the ball as hard as anyone in the league. He swings and hits bad pitches. He sees so many bad pitches, he expects a bad pitch every time. Barry is different because he will not swing at a bad pitch. But Guerrero hits bad pitches out of the stadium. |
We all knew they had great pitching, ... but with our offense, we should have done better than we did. |
We lost the chemistry on the team, and things haven't been the same, |
We're all motivated. We're all positive. We help each other. If somebody's not doing it, the other one's going to back you up. That's what we've been doing for the last three or four series. |
When we'd lose a game we acted like nothing happened, not the end of the world. We'd leave quietly and come back like nothing happened the day before. |
You better listen to Leo. You don't want him mad at you. |
You wonder if he's even human. How can I forget that night? It was a moment where every channel was showing the same thing. It was pretty emotional. |
