It never came out of the light. I lost it all the way. I'm just happy it hit me in the head. I put my glove up there to protect myself.

Everybody knows he's going to hit. He's seeing the ball better. He laid off some pitches today and that's what it's going to take.

I didn't get to play in the Olympics so this is the closest I can get. There's a lot of pride playing for your country.

That's baseball, you know. It happens. It's a first for me.

He doesn't want to make any excuses. If he got lit up, he's going to say that he got lit up, and he's not going to say it was because of this or that. That's the way he is.
ball carrying fly hit took
When he first hit it, I thought it was going to just be a fly ball, but it took off. It was (going to be) a homer. It was out. Same with Edmonds. The ball just took off. The ball was carrying out.

I'm happy to be here. I can only do so much, so it will take the whole team to (win the WBC). It's nice for baseball to see fans from different countries having the opportunity to see big league players together on one team.

I like to play every day. I don't like to sit on the bench.

I just wanted to put it in play. I have been very patient and trying to see a lot of pitches.

I'm more familiar with the pitchers now. I'm seeing the ball better now, too.

If you want to be playing in October, you have to win the close ones. We ain't going to win them all. But if we keep playing the way we're playing, we're going to win a lot of them.

I had fouled a couple down the line, and you strike out after that quite often. I just didn't want to strike out and wanted to keep the momentum going.

The better teams are, the better we seem to play. We're playing the tough teams now and we're playing good.
