team hero
I don't have to be the hero or nothing. I just have to be part of the team.
team angel opportunity
[The Angels are] a team that gives you an opportunity always to be in the playoffs. This time, my first time with them, I was very close to getting to the World Series, so why not stay?
player winning games
Everyone here contributes to win the games, so there is no pressure on any one player.
goal thirds
I really like triples. You hardly ever see me stop at second. My goal is third and that's where I'm headed.
want playoffs
I am right where I want to be-in the playoffs, and happy about it.
people
I'm always doing my best. Maybe people expect more of me, but I'm always doing my best.
believe firsts speed
I believe my speed begins when I round first base.
running home pride
I pride myself on average, not home runs.
years numbers trying
I don't know if it sounds arrogant or whatever, but I'm just trying to get better numbers than last year.
game last playing
We're playing every game like it's the last game of the season.
ball catch city hit mistakes single tough tried
I'm human, and I made a mistake. It's a tough city to play sometimes. They want me to catch every single ball hit to right field. I tried my best, but what can I do?
cost screwed
I screwed up there, and it probably cost us the game.
games matter mind playing
Not playing would be worse. These games are very important for our team. It doesn't matter what condition, I'm going to do my best. At least my mind is healthy.
balls cost hard hit screwed second wrong
I made the wrong turn, especially on the second one. They were hard hit balls, but I'm not going to make excuses. I screwed up, and probably cost the game.
