ball both gives hits location mitt obviously possible sides work works
He gives me a lot to work with. He does everything possible to keep them off balance. He obviously works both sides of the plate. His location is unbelievable -- when I want the ball up or the ball down, he hits my mitt pretty much consistent. And that's why he's doing what he's doing.
alongside
There is only one Mariano Rivera. There won't be another person who will come along and do what he did. No one does it like him. It was an honor to catch him and play alongside him for as long as I did.
We've got to do it. We've been down 0-1 before, and we know how to do it.

One of them was away and up, the other one was down and in, ... I thought they were good calls. I thought he did a great job.
guess strike surprised
I was really surprised he wasn't bunting, ... especially after we got strike one on him. I guess he's their cleanup hitter, so they let him swing, but I would have bunted.

I was upset. Obviously, I wanted to play for Puerto Rico. I wanted to play in front of my family, to be there and wear that P.R. on my shirt. But it didn't happen.
