What's going to happen in spring training, we don't know. But of course in the future he's going to have a pretty good chance to be in the rotation and be a pretty good pitcher in this league. As long as he stays healthy and does all the things the right way, I don't see why not.
I wasn't surprised at all. That's the way we do it. In our countries, fans go beyond the game. It's about passion. It's about loving the game. When it comes down to that, in the Latin countries, we do a pretty good job.
When it comes to that in Latin countries, I think we do a pretty good job. Nothing against anybody. I think American fans are great, too. It's just that it's a different feeling, especially when you represent your country.
Those guys did a good job. I felt like I was throwing the ball good.
To finally get a chance to see him after all the talk about him being lights out is great. And I think it's true. I think he has a very good chance to be with this ballclub.
One thing is for sure. We battle until the last out and that's good to see.
One thing is for sure ? we battled until the last out. Tonight was a perfect example of how good of a team we are and how much better we are from last year.
I felt pretty good today. I was throwing the fastball in and out of the plate and I was able to throw my change-up. It was a nice day.
I felt pretty good today, ... I had everything working. All you can hope for is that you give your team a chance to win and that is what we did today.
I feel good right now. I don't know about the stats. The numbers are going to be there at the end of the year. I'm not worried about that.
I feel pretty good about it. We've added some different players. If everybody can get it together, I'll be very excited.
What can you do? I felt like I threw some good pitches and didn't get the calls.
It's good just to see that we're still working for something, ... This is not over yet. It's good for fans, for my teammates and myself to see we still have a chance to make something special.
I threw some good pitches and they got some good swings.
