fun hard pitching supposed takes throwing work
He was fun to catch; he was pitching more than just throwing the ball, ... It really takes a lot to want to come back. When you want to come back, you work hard and do the things you're supposed to do to come back. It takes a lot.
arm ball best care doubt effortless fun hand prospect
He has the best arm in camp, no doubt about it. Better than all these guys. I don't care how old he is. He's unbelievable. It's effortless the way the ball comes out of his hand at 95-96. He's that impressive. He's the best prospect we've got. It's fun to see.
fun responsibility winning
I'm always happy. I like to have fun. During the game, I don't like showing my emotions, though. I'm all about winning the game. I take a lot of responsibility for that.

There will never be another Mariano Rivera. He was a friend and a champion of a teammate. He really cared about the game of baseball, the way it was played, and whatever it took to win that night.

Randy is Randy and his power is incredible. But Wang has the best stuff in our clubhouse, no doubt. He'll be our No. 1 pitcher eventually.
You don't know what he's going to do, ... He's tough. You have to give him a lot of respect.

You go for the best pitcher. He's been the best pitcher.

There's nothing he could do. I'm right in front of the plate.

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.
good great
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.
One-oh is important, ... but we have a long way to go.
matters none supposed
None of this matters if we don't go out there and play the way we're supposed to,
