I've got two strikes on me and I'm just trying to put the ball in play. I've been having some pretty good success so far this season and today it really paid off.
When he first hit it, I thought it was going to just be a fly ball, but it took off. It was (going to be) a homer. It was out. Same with Edmonds. The ball just took off. The ball was carrying out.
Everybody knows he's going to hit. He's seeing the ball better. He laid off some pitches today and that's what it's going to take.
You could say that. I get to play with some of the best players in baseball.
That's baseball, you know. It happens. It's a first for me.
I'm happy to be here. I can only do so much, so it will take the whole team to (win the WBC). It's nice for baseball to see fans from different countries having the opportunity to see big league players together on one team.
I'm more familiar with the pitchers now. I'm seeing the ball better now, too.
