I just didn't throw him a good pitch there, ... That's what good hitters do. |
I just tried to go out and make pitches. I had seven days off and wasn't feeling real crisp. |
I just went out there and tried to throw strikes. I tried to stay around the plate. |
I know he's trying to help us all the time. That's good for a player to know. Plus, he's an honest, down-to-earth guy who talks to us all the time. |
I made a bad pitch. He's a great hitter, |
I tried to throw it on the corner. He could have easily popped it up. |
I was so pumped up. The louder they yelled, the harder I wanted to throw it. I had no idea it was going to be like that. I was warming up [before the game], and one guy from their team ran from the dugout, and they were [ecstatic]. I've never been to a country where baseball is their No. 1 sport, and it's cool to see that everybody on that team is a superstar to them. |
I was standing in the outfield [before the game] and the wind was blowing, and I'm going, everything's gone. I was like, let me pop one up, it'll probably go. |
I was trying to keep us in the game so we can rally, ... We showed a lot of heart coming back. |
I was warming up and one [Venezuelan] ran from the dugout. It's funny to see that because I've never been to a country where baseball is the No. 1 sport. It's cool to see that everybody on that team is a superstar to them. |
I wasn't worried, ... The main thing was getting them to put the ball in play. |
I would've been satisfied with seven, eight innings and a win. We just have to win. |
I?m ready to do it, ... We just have to keep playing like we have been and I think we will be all right. |
I'd rather not have to make one more start down here. I just think I'm ready to go, and I don't want to waste the bullets here. |
I'm not coming out after five innings anymore. I'm fed up with it. I might as well be a middle-relief guy if I'm doing that. I can't go 2-2, 3-2 on every guy and expect to go seven innings. |
