country honor playing represent talent united
It's a real honor to go there and represent your country. For me personally, I want to go out there and show that my country is the best. With the talent we have in the United States, it's going to be like playing in the Olympics.
sure tried
I tried to get it up, but that's his zone. You have to make sure it's up enough.
It's not serious. We didn't want to make it worse.
early
It's too early to think about the standings. I don't think you can make too much out of it.
ahead bigger braves early four games silly taking
It?s too early to be silly about this stuff. It?s not that we?re not taking this seriously, but I think it?s bigger for the Braves than for us. We?re four games ahead of them.
hard hopefully turn
It's not the end of the world. We'll play as hard as we did tonight, and hopefully things will turn around for us.
against ball destined faces greatness hit hoping kid might needs next remember stay teams
This kid is destined for greatness. If they stay with him, and he's on teams that get him to the playoffs, he's the next Mariano Rivera , without a doubt. Ever see the hitters' faces when they come up to hit against him? They're just hoping to find one ball they might put in play. He needs to remember that now.
They're getting clobbered all the way up the Keys.
team trying winning
They're not just trying to put a competitive team on the field, they're going to put a winning team on this field.
atmosphere fun type
It was fun to have that atmosphere and type of enthusiasm.
guys loss month second tough turned
We know how important this month is. Guys turned it up for the second game. We're going to have some tough losses, but we didn't let one tough loss turn into two.
giving fans give-me
The fans are great. They give me that extra edge.
talent
You have to be mentally 'there.' Your talent is there, but you have to be mentally there, too.
work-out done fans
Coaches and ownership are just like the fans on the street. They can always do it better, and they would always have done it differently when it doesn't work out.
