Everybody goes through a little funk, ... and right now we're going through one. |
Everybody here is capable, and I trust anybody to do it - especially that old goat that's beside my locker. |
Everything clicked right away. I was .really shocked at how good of command I had, adding and taking off velocity at this stage. It was great. |
Everything is going to depend on how my health is by that date. |
Get out of here. Really, we signed him? Oh no, Mama Mia, things are going to go crazy over here. This is going to be a crazy clubhouse. |
Giles actually put something else in my coconut to learn from. He ran like somebody was chasing him. |
He did that? Grace better not be grabbing a bat again. |
He's a special player. He's one of those guys you have to be careful with. You go into the game not wanting to have him beat you. But, it doesn't always work out that way. |
He's right up there with them. |
I actually realized that I was somebody important, because I caught the attention of 60,000 people, plus the whole world watching a guy that if you reverse time back 15 years ago, I was sitting under a mango tree without 50 cents to pay for a bus. |
I actually reported early to try to do something. That was my main goal, to play for the Dominican. They know I would like to be there, but I cannot do it. |
I am always going to pitch my game. (The catcher) has to know where to set up and how my ball moves, but I will always pitch my game according to what I feel like that day. |
I am one of the biggest names in my country. I am so proud of my people. They want me to play, but I don't think they expect me to do anything if I'm not capable of playing at that level. |
I believe feeling pressure is feeling a lack of confidence. Carlos is confident now. These [new] guys are confident. I just have this weird feeling about us becoming so good. |
I believe that if you're healthy, you're capable of doing everything. There's no one else who can give you health but God, and by being healthy I believe that God is listening to me. |
