fantastic guys happy hitters pitchers playing second
It's over, the second round, we went through it, and I feel fantastic because most of the guys now are in playing shape. The pitchers have been able to go out there more than once, and the hitters had enough at-bats, so I'm happy for the guys.
break came daniel deserves game pitching scoring several staff
Daniel deserves all the credit. We had several scoring opportunities to break the game open. We didn't do it but our pitching staff came through.
bad baseball best brings country fell good high number park players short size team tournament understood
This park brings back good and bad memories. We fell short, but it was good to make it here. Our expectations were very high because of the team we had, but I also understood that in baseball you never know because it's a very short tournament and anything can happen. I still think when you look at the size of the country where we come from and the number of players we have, we have the best athletes.
four special team together
(The WBC) is going to be every four years, but I don't know if in four years we'll be able to put together a team like we have right now. This is a pretty special group.
bad baseball left offer year
There's still a lot of baseball left in Sosa, he's only had one bad year and has a lot to offer 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.
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.
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.
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.
