rather season three week
I want to be there. But if this does flare up or something, I'd much rather be out the first week of the season than be out two, three times during the season.
fun game latin spring stuff training
I tuned that all out. Obviously, there was a lot of stuff going on. But it was just a spring training game to me. It was fun for the Latin crowd.
atmosphere fun type
It was fun to have that atmosphere and type of enthusiasm.
best bullpen chance knock
I told him, 'How's it feel to be a part of the best bullpen in baseball? I know he was upset, that's what he wanted to do. But hey, you've got a chance to make us 10 times better and you've got a chance to be a part of something special. It's not a knock to go to the bullpen anymore.
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.
everybody great horrific people sound stories talk wants
Everybody wants to do these great stories about things that sound interesting, that could be really horrific to other people (who) really don't want to talk about (it). That's not something they think about a lot.
Everybody's got soreness. Don't make no (stuff) up.
family stories
It's just one of those stories where, to me, family comes first.
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.
