balls continue hard hit hitting matter sooner time turn
It will turn around sooner or later. At the end of the day, it doesn't matter how hard you hit the ball. You need to get results. At the same time, I know I've been hitting balls hard right at people. I'm just going to continue to do my thing. As long as we continue to win, I just know my time will come.
ball felt goal good matter team
I felt good at the plate, I was able to put the ball in play, ... My goal is to win. It doesn't matter how I do. I want to do well, but I just want the team to win.
ballpark feels game great mean
It just feels great to come out to the ballpark and have every game mean something.
affected ball city experience good hit hole hurt knowing learning steal time took year
When I got hurt this year I feel that really affected me, took a lot away from me. I wasn't able to steal bases. Every time I hit the ball in the hole I wasn't able to run. I just couldn't run. It's kind of frustrating because you feel like you would have done a better job. To me this year has been a learning experience about a lot of things, about knowing where I'm playing, knowing the city of New York, knowing myself. I feel good with it.
ball hit score today
We can score a lot of runs, we know that. As a team, we know we can go out there and hit the ball well. Today was one of those days.

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.

I'm surprised (by that). He can hit. And in the American League, I know he can be one of those DH batters for at least four years.

I know that I'm hitting third, and a lot of people expect the third hitter to never bunt. I don't think like that.

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.
matter
I'm doing everything possible, and everything right. It's just a matter of time.
fans last stayed win year
I'm just not used to it. The fans stayed with us last year when we didn't win the division. But they can be better.
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.
