I was throwing everything, my fastball, slider, curve ball and change up. I was throwing everything for strikes. I made some good pitches, and got out of a jam. |
I'm glad I could get out of trouble when I was in it, |
In Puerto Rico everybody is so excited because they have not seen so many big-league players before. The Latin American countries take a lot of pride in baseball being the national sport. They want to see this because this is so unique. In the United States there are so many games and there is a team in every city. |
It seemed like he just put the bat on the ball, ... It was a good pitch. Usually when I give up home runs, most of them are on mistakes. This wasn't a mistake. |
It was a great atmosphere. Playing for our country was definitely one of the greatest experiences that I ever had. I knew it was going to be very important, but it was definitely more than what I expected. |
It's awesome. We have four guys from last year that were just great. I'm just blessed to be here and to be a part of it. |
It's great for me coming here to a new team and having four great starters. I think it's going to help every one of us to push ourselves a little more. |
It's just disappointing to be losing all these games, man. It's really frustrating. We're not getting the job done and we're not winning games. |
It's nice any time you have a lot of offense. What can you say? We have a good lineup. |
Just trying to stay tall and work downhill, instead of side-to-side. Sometimes I have the tendency to go side-to-side. I need to work downhill, that's the arm angle I have to have. |
The expectations are here, they want to (repeat) again. I want to help as much as I can to do it again. |
The wholesale market for SUVs has dropped considerably. |
There's other guys here and I know they want to pitch every five days, too, so it's not just me. |
They've never seen so many big league players be in a tournament like this. And in a lot of Latin American countries, I think there's a lot of pride in baseball as a national sport. They want to see us representing Puerto Rico to the best of our abilities. |
We'll just cross that bridge when we come to it. |
