credit holding looked scoreboard
I looked at the scoreboard at the end of the game. We weren't going to win, 1-0. They flat-out outplayed us, and you have to give all the credit to Vazquez for holding down this offense.
chance everybody guys happy performance
I'm very happy with the performance of the guys here. And everybody had a chance to play.
again almost asked chemistry game intense nations player talked terrific thankful
I had a blast. It was very intense and every game was a must-win game. I would do it again if asked and almost every player I have talked to from different nations would come back again. It was terrific chemistry and I'm thankful I got the opportunity.
allowing baseball everybody forgetting players ready regular responsibility spring training trying whether win
If you're going to get hurt, you're going to get hurt, whether you're in spring training or the World Baseball Classic. But I want everybody to understand, we're not going out there only trying to win and forgetting about our players. We have a responsibility to the organizations that are allowing the players to play, and we're also going to try to get them ready for the regular season.
best looking players sure
If you're looking for the best players at this time, you can be sure to find them on the Dominican team.
competition innings level nine team
I don't think that, with the level of competition of every team, you need to have your 'A' team out there for nine innings every day.
best desire health worried
I am worried about the health of our best starters, but they have the desire to play and that makes me happy.
competition dominating
I can see why they are dominating international competition.
attention community crowd focused game help paying players
The crowd did help us. We have a big Dominican community here. But I think the game was so good, the players weren't even paying attention to the fans. They were focused on the game.
contribute game good hope next people round wake
The good thing is that in every game we had a different hero, so different people contributed to those different wins. I hope that Alfonso Soriano and Miguel Tejada wake up for the next round and they contribute more.
guys reasons remind supposed
All of those guys were supposed to come over here with him and I think that's one of the reasons he doesn't want to come. It would remind him.
against kid shown terrific
The kid has shown that he's not intimidated at all. He's got terrific stuff. I think he can go against any lineup in this tournament.
