damn good guys looking people speculate touch
They can't look at mine. They can't look at mine. You all know good and damn well that what you see is what you get. You can look at other people and speculate all you want. But you guys know from looking at me that I didn't touch a thing.
barrier everybody flags language people understood yelling
You're not just representing the people of Cincinnati, you're representing everybody. It was different. You'd see all the flags and the people yelling and the uniforms. The language barrier was a little tough. But for the most part, everybody understood one thing - baseball.
counted medical people says staff work
Just being able to go out there day in and day out where a lot of people counted me out says a lot for the work I put into it, and for the medical staff and the team.
chance charles country dying guys hard johnson magic michael opportunity people stand
People are dying in wars, and I get an opportunity to play for my country. It's not that hard of a decision. You see Michael Jordan, Charles Barkley, Magic Johnson and all those guys stand on a podium. I have the chance to do that.
best people whatever worry
I don't worry about it. I just go out there and try to do the best I can. Whatever people think, that's fine.
bad situation tried
We just tried to make a bad situation a little better.
early pressure relax roger
We were like, 'OK, if we can get out to an early lead, put some pressure on and let Roger relax and have some fun.
four rest six win wins won
We won four out of six. If we win four out of six for the rest of the year, how many wins is that? We?d have over 100 victories. That would be nice.
baseball couple early last months ourselves shot tough
Early in the season, we shot ourselves in the foot. The last couple months of the baseball season, you want to make it tough on other teams.
bunch game next rather stuff wrong
You'd rather have everything go wrong on one day than things go wrong on a bunch of days. Hopefully, we got all that stuff out of the way and we'll come back the next game and have some fun.
definitely desire hate knowing medical ongoing soon staff understand
I still have the same urge. But I try to understand a little more now. I still have the same desire to be out there. With the medical staff knowing me, it's still an ongoing communication. But it's tough. I hate not playing. I hate it. I'm definitely doing everything I can to get back just as soon as I can.
closed good knee overall playoffs situation smartest time
I think overall in the situation we're in, it's probably the smartest thing to do. If it were the playoffs and we had a chance, then we'd be doing something different. But we're not, and it's time that I can get my hamstring closed up for good and my knee fixed.
helps
We were able to get some runs. That helps out Ramon.
bother
It didn't really bother me. It just tightened up a little bit. That was it.
