fun rookies remember
I remember my rookie hazing. It wasnt fun.
lying drug substance
I've never used performance-enhancing drugs of any kind, and I never will. I've never met or spoken with Tony Bosch or used any substances provided by him. Anything said to the contrary is a lie.
stills fastballs
At 19, I was still figuring out how to throw a fastball.
knuckleballs ifs
I couldn't throw a knuckleball if my life depended on it.
car firsts remember
I remember when I started off, my first car was a Kia Spectra. With a spoiler kit and some rims.
blood cuban backgrounds
I'm Cuban-American, everybody says. I have a Cuban background, Cuban blood.
guy furious
I'm definitely not a 'Fast and a Furious' guy.
latin honor culture
It's an honor to represent a Latin culture.
father blessing house
My curveball is a blessing. My father taught it to me. He felt that it was a pitch he wanted me to learn, right on the side of the house, and it just ended up working. I never asked what the tricks were, or anything like that.
dream team kids
To be a small town kid from Hialeah, Fla., pitching in Miami and representing Team U.S.A., that says it all. It's a kid's dream. Don't pinch me. I don't want to wake up.
