forward last looking
We're all pretty confident. We're looking forward to getting going and topping what we did last season.
baseball games good hard last win
This is baseball. You have to play hard and do the little things to win a baseball game. The last two games haven't been good for us.
game good last sure
We've been doing the little things well. We always make sure we play the game hard. Unfortunately, these last two games, some of those things didn't go real good for us.
games good last page turn
The last two games haven't been so good for us. We've got to turn the page and try to do better (today).
games
We'll see. We have 14 more games to go. Anything can happen.
country fans maybe
I think maybe because it was the first time, fans in this country didn't get as excited. But the U.S. team, it was like an all-star team.
middle next ready spring training trying
That's what everybody's saying. It's hard, because it's the middle of spring training and you're trying to get ready for the season. I don't know how they're going to do the next one.
asked people saying three
They (Venezuela) asked me to play, but that's all I've heard. They did say they were going to have three catchers. Some people are saying that I would be the DH.
compete country great represent
It was a great time. It was a great experience. Being able to compete and represent your country is something I will never forget. It's something big for me.
anytime cleveland country dream indians
Anytime you get to play for your country it is an honor. But my dream is getting the Cleveland Indians to the World Series.
clubhouse great names soon team together tough walk
As soon as you walk in that clubhouse and see all those great names (it's serious). It's going to be tough to put that team together again.
early game knows remember team tough
This is a team that knows how to come back. We don't let one game get us down. Remember early in the season, we had some tough times.
This is teamwork. We've been able to do the little things.
almost league might states team tournament united
It might be because it was the first one. They really don't know what they missed. The United States team is like an All-Star team. The Dominican team is like an All-Star team. That tournament was almost a big league tournament.
