Orlando Cabrera Quotations

We're going to try and make every play. Errors and making mistakes are part of the game. I don't think errors are going to keep us down. We just have to try and make the next one.

Worried about not coming back? No, it's early. There's a lot of series left, a lot of games.

When I did that I said 'Wow,' ... I got the video, and when Tejada saw the play when he got out, he started clapping.

The pitching is what kept us in games, but if you're not hitting, you're not going to win,

Moving up in the order, hitting in front of Garret and Vladdy, that has helped a lot -- seeing better pitches. That is the spot. There are a lot of things you can do.

I worked with Leo the last seven days, and it worked today. Everything was perfect. I cut down on the walks and threw strikes.

I don't think anybody is going out tonight ... We've got to rest.

I don't to want to let any day go by if I can play.

He looks a little tired. I'm sure it's nothing we have to worry about because one day he can just go off until the end of the season.

He keeps swinging, man. At some point he's going to turn that around and he's going to help us win games.

Just the fact that I didn't sign back with the team, you can tell from there that I don't like the situation.

I saw Bartolo Colon's trainer the other day and he said, 'I haven't seen you in three weeks, what no massages?' ... I have too much energy, too much motivation. I don't need massages. I'm not thinking of what part of my body hurts.

I'm speechless. Great play, man, unbelievable. He covered a lot of ground. I didn't think he was going to be able to make it. He got it done. We always come out with good plays in those kind of situations.

I was on the bag. I even saw the play and said to myself, 'Dang, that is a great play.' And then I was going to walk to third.

We have to step up and try to win games like that, close games. You don't have to get seven, eight runs every night.

We have to step up and try to win games like that, close games, ... You dont have to get seven, eight runs every night.

There is a lot of talent here, a lot of talent.

Sometimes guys play a long time in the Minors and have a hard time finding a role, ... He's solid; he swings the bat pretty good, too.

They took the momentum and then we couldn't get it back.

A lot of guys like to put up big numbers and get voted into the All-Star Game. Some guys work for the postseason.

It was bad. Everything on the inside was new, so the guy was taking care of it, but he didn't have the money.

It's too early. I'm not looking to be the leader or anything like that. People have been getting on base in front of me. What I need to do is just get my (butt) on base so he can drive me home.

Stoneman knows what it takes. He's been doing it for the last few years, so, of course, I think we got what we needed. We do have a good offense, a good defense and pitching staff.

It's been like that my whole career. I always try to improve from the beginning of the year. It's the second half when the games really count.

This is just a preview, man. I think we can do more than this. Up to now, it's been a nice season. Going to the playoffs, hopefully we'll go all the way to the World Series and win it.

Any time you knock out a team that spends $200 million and you're the underdog, it feels great. We're pumped up for the next series.

In Montreal it was every ground ball, fly ball and double play, all that stuff. Every year, 300 to 400 plays. It's a lot of highlights. Replays from every angle, all the stuff you get on TV.

I never think about it, because when I was in the Minors, I never thought about the guys ahead of me. So now that I have a good job, I don't need to think about it. I just need to look forward.

Hey, that was our secret weapon. We hadn't used him in the playoffs, but every time we needed him, he came up big for us this year.

He's our secret weapon. The adjustment to him may have caused the Yankees some problems.

For sure, they don't think they're going to win it all this year. There's no way they can think they're going to win everything. When you think about it, this team the last two years didn't even go to the World Series. ... For those guys, not to even go, that's a bad year. A very bad year.

These are complicated questions that require complicated answers. It's going to take some time.
