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.

It's not a physical thing; my body's held up fine,
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.

Don't like them, ... I'm not comfortable with them. When you move, it moves around. I never wear one.
hard listen needed truth
Everything he said was true. It's not hard to listen to the truth. It's something we needed to hear.
hurt next short team tied
To me, it was just something different. If Ojeda was hurt, I was up to do it. If we had tied the game, I was going to play short the next inning ... just something the team needed.
defense games hard paid plays pride small work
The way I'm hitting, I'd better make those plays. This year, I'm getting paid for my defense. I work hard at it, I take pride in it. In games like this, small plays make a difference.
behind best finish next start strong team totally year
This has been a totally disappointing year for me, for the team and for the fans. The best any of us can do is put it behind us, finish up strong and start next year fresh.
career four hit third worst
If they'd hit another grounder to me, I'd have had four errors. This is the worst day of my career at third base.
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.

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