If something happened to one of the Venezuelan players, they got hurt, they can't play anymore, they won't give one (bleep) about them. But if they don't play, they will criticize them.

He was a tremendous ambassador for the team. I think Dave Winfield said the right thing: He was the only player in the history of baseball everybody loved.

I always like, when a guy is ready, to give him another day to see how he feels. If he doesn't play tomorrow, we might give him that extra day with the day off Tuesday to make sure he's 100 percent ready.

He was throwing the ball real well. The outing before, it was between location and tipping the pitch. You can count on him every time he comes out, because he's a great worker. When you work that hard, it pays off.

He will know the league better. Last year he battled the league every day--he didn't know the pitchers. Now he has one year under his belt. With a lot of confidence, he should have a good year.

He's a young kid. He's 44, 45 and when you see that happen to anyone you feel shock. It's a shame and I hope everything's fine.

dumb people standing taking
He was gambling, taking a a lot of risks. You go, 'Oh no don't do it,' and 'Oh, good. People think it's going to be a dumb play but when you make an out, you got a standing ovation.
