We would have liked to be 9-5 or better. But it's certainly felt like an extended spring training (being away). It's going to be nice to be coming home.
We really came into this game with a lot of confidence. It felt like we could play well and dominate this game.
I was surprised he bunted on a 3-1 count, and I think I jumped myself a little, ... When I went down, I felt it a little.
I think when we saw that window of opportunity on the double play, we felt we had a chance.
I felt like if we could have delivered the knockout punch there, it could have been a long night for them,
We came into this game with a lot of confidence. We felt like could play well and dominate this game. That's the one thing about baseball. You can't predict what's going to happen.
It was the first opportunity of this sort that I had, and that was definitely good. I definitely felt very proud.
The game of baseball has been my whole life. It's given me everything I have. I didn't think this was better for the game, the growth of the game, I wouldn't be playing. I felt that I owe this to the game. I've made the right decision. I'm very proud to be playing for the USA team. I plan to enjoy it.
The only thing we know is we got to beat South Africa and score a lot of runs.
When you have so many different opportunities and you can't deliver the big hit, it's frustrating. That was the difference. Last night we got the big blow.
We've got to come out and play well and figure it out. There's no time to waste.
We've got to collect wins. They have a great cushion over there and we don't.
We've just got to get better. We've got to get better.
We would love be 9-5 or something like that. But we've been on the road for basically 14 days. We're very excited to get home.
