Randy Johnson from one side, Rivera from the other side. It's hard to face them. The good thing is we got beat by good pitching. |
Right now I'm in shock. |
Right now I'm in shock. I've never given anybody steroids before. I've been checked out three times already, and I'm clean. I've been clean all my life. |
That was my bad. I didn't think Byrnes was going to throw the ball to me. I thought he was going to throw home. I just threw the ball late. |
The ball took a weird hop, ... I just went to the side and the ball went in the other direction. I don't like to pull an excuse. What can I do? I'm not a Superman. |
The Caribbean Series is just a prelude of what's to come. |
The Cubans all could be major leaguers, they all could be good major leaguers. |
The key to playing the whole major league season and then playing winter baseball is working out hard and not being careless for a second. |
There will come a time when my children will start growing up and they'll need more attention, but they understand that this is what I like to do. |
They're supposed to do that. When you play for something, you got to take advantage of all the mistakes. That's what they do right now. |
This is just a hint of what the games between the Dominican Republic and Venezuela will be during the World Baseball Classic. |
Today is my lucky day. When you face Randy Johnson, you have to be ready. He's so good. He can beat you with any pitch, like today. |
We are going to show that the Dominican Republic has a great talent for baseball. |
We just do it for our country. Now we play for our country. We know there are a lot of people just watching the games and a lot of people believe in us. That's why we just came up and we were a little nervous. We're nervous just because we want to do something for our country. |
We keep getting better and better because we're getting an opportunity to play this game, ... Teams are signing a lot more of the good prospects because they've invested money in places like the Dominican. |
