buy clothes league major tried
We would go out to eat, and I would never pay. They would buy me clothes. They tried to show me the major league way. I try to do the same thing for young players.
good invested money opportunity places prospects signing teams
We keep getting better and better because we're getting an opportunity to play this game, ... Teams are signing a lot more of the good prospects because they've invested money in places like the Dominican.
decides fine god playing
For me, I think God is the one that decides if I have to take a day off, ... Right now, I feel fine and I'm going to keep playing every day.
played
It's unbelievable what he did. I don't think I can do it. I mean, I've played in a lot of games, and I'm not even close.
anybody gave good help people
It's not good for anybody because I don't know what people think about me now, ... I didn't do anything wrong. I just gave a B-12 to one of my friends to help him out. I don't give any steroids.
ball direction pull side took weird
The ball took a weird hop, ... I just went to the side and the ball went in the other direction. I don't like to pull an excuse. What can I do? I'm not a Superman.
bigger caribbean traffic watch
It's already bigger (than the Caribbean World Series). It's going to be for the fans. I think there's going to be no traffic in the Dominican (today) because everybody's going to watch this game.
enjoy good heart inside players speak
It's a very good experience. I think the whole world is happy. I think we're all going to enjoy it because it's something that hasn't ever been seen. I'm not inside the heart of the American or the heart of the Japanese, but I know we're all excited. I can't speak for other countries. I can only speak for the players we have here. What I see and what I feel is that the whole world here has harmony.
ball direction side weird
It was a weird hop. I went one side and the ball went in the other direction. I don't like to make excuses. But what can I do? I'm not a superman.
chance count represent whenever
Whenever there is a chance to represent the country, they can count on me.
great republic talent
We are going to show that the Dominican Republic has a great talent for baseball.
month trade upset
Now, I am more upset than when I requested the trade because it's been a month and they haven't done anything.
advantage supposed
They're supposed to do that. When you play for something, you got to take advantage of all the mistakes. That's what they do right now.
best fit playing
I think the best way to keep fit is playing ball. I don't know how to do anything else and I don't like anything else but baseball.
