easier everybody good pull together
It was good. It's always good to get everybody on the same page. That way it's easier to pull together as a team.
baseball days next ready strong
take about 10 days where I don't think about baseball at all. Then I'm going to get ready to come back strong next year.
aware next pitching staff win
We were aware of their pitching staff and fortunately, we were able to win and this probably bodes well for the (tournament's) next games.
trying balls kind
Byrd has always been that kind of pitcher, trying to trick you, keep the ball low, in and out. He threw a lot of strikes, worked it inside and out, threw breaking balls for strikes behind in the count.
worry trying bullets
But the Twins opened the fifth with their second and third hits, and Beltre helped Hernandez by taking his bullet throw for a force at third on a bunt try. I felt it, ... My only worry was that he didn't throw me a sinker. He threw hard, but a good fastball.

I'm an immigrant myself. I'd probably support it, but I can't do much.
home plates feels
When you go to home plate with a lot of confidence, you feel that you can hit any pitch.

I have to get better, but I can't change the way I play.

I want to be consistent from the first day of the season to the last.

I love hitting-that's my favorite part of the game.

I'm confident, but not so confident that I'm cocky.
rookies excuse young
I'm not a rookie anymore-no more excuses about being young.
years excuse
2004 has to be my year. No more excuses.
hard-work pride games
I work hard on my defense. It's something I take pride in, but it's nothing that I want to brag about. It's part of my game.
