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.
early home night ready saturday sleep
I went home on Saturday night and got to sleep early so I'd be ready to play.
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.
coming moments throughout today
Today it was a combination of everything coming together. Moments like that, I've had a lot throughout my career.
sorry
I just feel sorry for the guy. He comes to play the game, and he doesn't get to play.
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.
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.
chance family speak totally
If he doesn't come, we would totally understand. Family comes first. I haven't had a chance to speak to him, but from what I've heard, he's very crushed.
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.
change follow happy plans played player players playing ready routines time wish year
I'm not happy about the time of year we're playing the WBC. It's going to make me change my plans to get ready for the season, especially a player like me, who's played 15 years, and players who have routines we follow every spring. I wish we played after the World Series.
best good great order player
In order to be a good player, you have to have that kind of mentality. He's not a good player, he's a great player -- the best player.
bat best extra fourth game hate kids question three tries
He always tries to do what's best for the team. No question about that. I hate to take him out of the game and have one of the kids bat fourth in a late-inning situation. You don't want a young kid to come up three times in extra innings.
