believe friend god gone pushed saying support though york
I went out. Even though I was pushed by Julio, I did. I put myself in a situation, what would God have done if he was being booed the first two days. God would have gone out. I feel like I did the right thing. I put it this way, I'm a friend not only when you're doing well. That's the way I am. I'm not saying the New York fans, they're bad. They're good. They really support us. But I do believe they can be better.

I went to see the doctor after the game and he said it was nothing major. But I woke up Sunday feeling sore.

My shoulder feels sore, but I'll be fine.
I just feel that I feel good. I want to play. I don't feel scared.

I'll take it easy today and then we'll see about tomorrow. To me, it's nothing major.
easy
I'll take it easy (Sunday) and then we'll see about (Monday).
happens hearts love wants worried
I'm not worried at all. I don't press. No one wants to go out and get booed, but that's what happens when you play here. The fans, they're passionate, they love the game. I know in their hearts they want me to go out and do well.
base billy facing giving good hard kept looking pitch player third
I'm a player of the Mets. Facing Billy ... he's such a hard thrower. I was looking for a slider, but he kept giving me a lot of fastballs. Good thing I was able to get one over third base on a pitch I got jammed.
advantage against amateur job players practice puerto twice
Against amateurs, they have an advantage because (the Cubans) play every day. That's their job, their mission. Here in Puerto Rico, a lot of the amateur players have a day job and often practice just twice a week.
hits time
I don't know if I've ever done that in my career. I wasn't getting hits and it was time for me to come through.
brings fans games great port puerto rican
I didn't know Port St. Lucie had so many Puerto Rican fans. That was great to see. They should do these games more often, because it brings the fans to the ballpark, there's excitement.
hurt vision
I didn't hurt my eye. My vision is fine.
feels
Hopefully, but I don't know. It feels better than it did before, but it's still not 100 percent.
ball control game gap good hit outfield pinch playing
I can be under control as a pinch hitter. But playing the outfield is different. It would look no good if someone hit a ball into the gap with the game on the line.
