best chance coming crew main reason rest
That's the only reason why I am here and the only reason the rest of the crew is here. It's an honor, especially coming from the Dominican Republic, where our main sport is baseball. We want to be the best in the world, and this is our chance to do it.
camp decision late
Manny showed up late to camp and said he wasn't going to be ready. It was a very responsible decision on his part to not be a part of this because he's not going to be in shape.
early home night ready saturday sleep
I went home on Saturday night and got to sleep early so I'd be ready to play.
act baseball brute coaches english heard people quiet speak stay
People act like you're some brute if you don't speak English when you come to this country, ... I've heard people in the media, coaches and other people in baseball say these things. It's just people stay quiet about it, but we all hear it.
experience wait
I think it's going to be pretty huge. When we do it all the way -- which we will -- I can't wait to experience the feeling.
coming moments throughout today
Today it was a combination of everything coming together. Moments like that, I've had a lot throughout my career.
ballpark deal easy fans holding perform stuff tough
He's holding up pretty good. That's a tough guy. It's not easy to come to the ballpark and perform and deal with all the stuff going on outside. The fans have been terrible.
ball lucky seeing
I wasn't seeing the ball as well as I wanted to today. I got lucky on that one.
chances drive game good sorry
I didn't think it was going to be that bad. I'll take them. As many chances as I have to drive them in, I'm going to have a good year. ... I feel sorry for the guy. He comes here to play the game and doesn't get to play it.
break chase falls hank knows main
He's the only one that knows how long he is going to play. Does he want to chase Hank Aaron? If he falls short, does he still want to break the record? He has said it's not his main priority.
quiet
He's a quiet guy. But you can't be something that you're not.
face good happen
Anything can happen in the playoffs, especially when you face good pitching,
locked
I know if someone could do what he's doing, it's going to be him, but I didn't think he'd be locked in that quick.
challenge somebody sure takes until
I'm sure someone is going to try to challenge him at the beginning, ... until he takes somebody deep, and that'll be it. It'll be back to the same old pitch-around, walk-him situation.
