'Cause I'm a second baseman. |
[In] that at-bat, I was trying to come out of the game, because I could barely run, |
Before the game, ... I told C.C., 'You're the guy and we're going to score runs for you.' We just have to keep winning now. |
He doesn't panic. He lets everybody play. When he needs to pull a hit-and-run, he does. When he needs to [have someone] bunt, he does. Other than that, he lets everybody play. |
He kept everybody off balance, I guess. He moves the ball pretty good. He's a veteran guy. He knows we're aggressive. |
He made a mistake. It's been hard for me to get hits with two outs and guys on base. I'm excited we won the game. |
He was dealing. He was getting ahead, then he was able to throw his split. He hit his spots. Sometimes you have to tip your hat to a guy throwing the ball like that. |
I can't exactly remember when I might have done it ? maybe on that play against Minnesota. |
I don't care about that either. I'm on TV every night, anyway. Do you want to be on TV? |
I don't care about that. It's the same game. Nothing changes. |
I don't know. I didn't get to play. |
I don't want to put myself in a situation where I play, and then have to come out of the game. I know I'm not going to feel 100 percent (today), but I want to feel good enough to start the game and finish it. |
I felt very sad and at the same time very proud. |
I started feeling a pinch in my right side a few days ago but figured I would just play through it, |
I think it's going to exceed everybody's expectations. (The fans) are going to see a lot of big league players and good games. |
