helping
I feel like I am helping brothers... my American brothers.
assess difference early help late numbers ready starting trying value
It's a new role. I'm getting used to having to get ready late in the game. You can sense a difference from starting every day, but I think it's too early to assess any kind of numbers any of us have. I'm trying to find the value of it, and what I can do to help the team.
happy help team
I'm just happy to help my team out.
crowds night player pro
Big crowds every night - it'll be very different from Pro Player Stadium.
balls hard hit
That was something I needed. I've hit some balls hard lately, but I didn't have anything to show for it.
accustomed balls certain glad hit hope point tough works
You can get accustomed to certain balls off the bat. I had one tough ball that I'm glad I had. The more balls I get hit to me, the more comfortable I'll feel. I hope it works out, and I hope to get to a point where I'm comfortable.
bless god people
I'm here to say God bless those people man. God bless,
bat game win
I can't put away my defense. If you're not doing nothing with the bat for one night, you can go 0-for-4 and win the game with your glove.

When the sheriff came, that's when you really started noticing more of a difference. Ever since they started cracking down on everything, things got better.
glad totally
I can't say I'm totally disappointed, I'm more sad. I'm glad to be back with my team. I can play more here. It's a new league, new pitchers.
three
It's sad. They have a young team, and it's going to be like in '98 or '99. But in two or three years, they could be like us.
start until wait wednesday
I've got to wait until Wednesday until I start throwing, hitting, see how it feels, ... I want to take my time.
gangsters walking
A lot of gangsters used to be walking up and down the street, up and down, up and down. You don't see that anymore. ... It's quiet.

He would have got me at home plate.
