In the Caribbean, it's more than about just being fans. It's about passion. |
It didn't happen for me. I didn't get those wins, |
It's been incredible. It seems like he's put that aside and went out there and showed you the type of pitcher he is and that he likes to win. |
It's difficult, but we're making it look like it's impossible. And that's not the way it should be. |
It's good just to see that we're still working for something, ... This is not over yet. It's good for fans, for my teammates and myself to see we still have a chance to make something special. |
It's not just about me, |
It's the first time I've had the opportunity to represent my country. It is (an All-Star lineup) You'll see the best in the world on both teams. That's something that we're looking forward to, not just me but everybody. In order for you to be the best you have to beat the best. It's the same way for them. We've got a great team too. It's going to be a great challenge. It's going to be interesting and fun to watch. |
It's up to the professionals and the baseball writers to decide who's going to win it, ... I feel like I did my job, and personally, I'm pleased with everything that happened. Unfortunately, we didn't go to the playoffs -- that's what we were looking for. |
Most of the time it's going to take the whole team to do what you want to do, to see this team succeed and go to the playoffs, ... Yeah, pitching is a big part of it, but we haven't been able to put everything together. |
One thing is for sure ? we battled until the last out. Tonight was a perfect example of how good of a team we are and how much better we are from last year. |
One thing is for sure. We battle until the last out and that's good to see. |
Since I've been playing professional baseball and seeing the guy pitch, [Martinez is] one of the best. I like the way he handles himself when he's pitching. That proves to me that you don't have to be over six-feet tall to do things out there. |
Sometimes, people talk about performances and everything, ... I've been doing the same thing I've been doing. It hasn't worked out as we wanted as a team. For you to win a game, a lot of things have to go right. It's not just about one guy, one pitcher, one hitter. It's about the team and that's it. There's nothing you can do about it personally. |
That means you're doing something good and the fans are enjoying what they're watching, ... So it's always good to make people happy … I don't think there can be any better feeling than that. |
