I was pretty impressed. The balls don't carry here much. |
I was screaming, 'No, no, no,' and then, 'That a boy, good job,' |
I was so excited. So many people were waiting for this moment. |
I was talking to Freddy [Garcia] and a couple of the other guys that I can't wait until one game when we swing the bat and pitch well. |
I was thinking we'd have men on second and third and one out. There was a lot of risk ... But this kid is a real solid second baseman. That is one reason he plays every day. |
I watch the news every day, and this is something like what my country (Venezuela) went through 10 years ago with the mudslides. |
I wear it every day because I like the colors, ... If you've noticed, we're always playing against red. We played against Cleveland, then we played against Boston, then we played against the Angels . That's all red. That's why I'm wearing red. The National League teams are a couple of reds, too. That's why I wear it. |
I went out and talked to Freddy, about if he's got enough, |
I will be back next year. |
I will be concerned if we are one game behind, ... You get nervous when you don't do anything about it ... We just have to keep fighting. |
I will be concerned if we are one game behind. You get nervous when you don?t do anything about it. ... We just have to keep fighting. |
I will be concerned if we are one game behind. You get nervous when you don't do anything about it ... We just have to keep fighting. |
I will guard him real well. I won't say, 'Get McCarthy up, we need him next inning.' We are going to use him the same way we used El Duque last year when he was in the bullpen. ... If we need someone quick, I'll get someone else up before I get McCarthy up. |
I won't say he hit him on purpose, but this kid never hit anyone. When you throw 70-mph [stuff] over there and hit the guy with no reason, I don't know if it's intentional or not. But [I've been] in the big leagues for a lot of years, and when you do that, you second guess yourself about it. |
I worry about the guys who have the opportunity to make the team and they don't take advantage of it. Right now they all [stink]. . . . That's one of the reasons we are bringing Logan [to big-league camp]. We'll keep looking around and see if anybody can do the job. |
