Today the sinker was working, it was moving a lot, and the curveball was amazing. He made pitches when he needed to.

It was unbelievable. It was like playing in the World Series. That surprised me. Who knew that many people live in Puerto Rico?
There's not much room there. But we'll see how that (plays). It's a great view, a beautiful view of the city.
I wasn't on vacation, I was working hard. I didn't play too much, but I was working and hitting off the tee.
I was in good position, so he could slide, but he came after me,
It feels good. I'm happy to be back.
You know Tony, he's a smart manager. He gave me the sign, so I did it.
Most of the time, he was up. He tried to keep the ball down and he couldn't. When you leave the ball up, they make you pay.
Two or three more days and I'll be back. I feel good. I made some strong swings. No pain, no pain at all.
It was amazing, you know, to play in front of your country. I didn't expect that. It was way too much. It was a great thing.
It's flat. It's flat and guys hit it.
It was a dream come true for me to play with him.
It's hard for them and it's hard for me because I got pitchers who I don't know about. But it's hard for me to say no to my country, and they understand that.
