I don't even know when the last time I walked four guys, period. |
I don't know what to tell you, man. That one pitch is costing me. ... It's hurting everybody here. |
I feel all right physically, but I don't feel all right showing these results. I've always been pinpoint, and right now I'm not. I go through these little slumps. Hopefully, this one is coming early and we'll get it behind us. Basically, what really hurts is we're here to win and we can't win if I don't give us a chance. |
I feel like I've just been hanging out. |
I fell behind 2-0 and had to get a strike there. The ball was not where I wanted it, no doubt. I just blew it. I blew it. We played big today. |
I know what is going on here. People want to stand up for their rights. If they're here illegally, most of them are doing it to make a better life for themselves and their families. I'd just like to see them do it the right way. |
I think we played good baseball. Especially coming in there and playing these guys as tough as we did in their atmosphere. I just didn't do my job today, but I think we're gonna be all right. |
I wanted to represent my country. It's an honor. |
I've never seen it this good. |
If I don't do my job, we don't win. I prepare myself every day. Last night [Thursday] was tough for me to sleep. But I woke up feeling positive. I'm ready. |
In thinking about it, I felt I'd be better off not going over and playing in the WBC. I've got a lot to deal with here. |
It feels fresh and it feels good. During spring training, you can see it — a little fire, a little more chemistry here. That's what you need. |
It was easy. I just poured some alcohol on them and lit them up. |
It would have been ugly to lose that one. This team did a lot of good things in that game, and despite my mess in the ninth, there is the important thing — we won. |
It's a little payback. He was acting like he had 10 years in the league. |
