Ruben Sierra Quotations

I didn't pick it up right away, ... With the glare off the artificial turf, you don't see the ball right off the bat. And then I didn't want to try to catch it and have it go by me.

I feel good. It's OK. I was running good enough to make the bases. I felt it a little bit yesterday, but I'm fine. Once I start stretching and running again, I don't feel it.

For sure, it's going to be more than a week. I don't know how long.

I saw the ball too late. I didn't want to try to catch it and have it go by me. I should have caught that ball if I picked it up from the beginning, but I didn't.

Playing down there is like the World Series, you know. Those kids they don't want me to get on so they were pitching me tough. I was glad that happened, because it got me more ready when I come here and I know what I'm going to face.

I think I can be ready to pinch-hit or go in the game. But if not, I'm going to let them know that I need a little more time. I want to be ready for the whole season, which is more important.

Everything is 100 per cent now. Last year was a tough year for me, due to all the injuries.

I've been out before for two weeks and pinch-hit and hit a home run to win the game.

As long as I can do it and I can help the club, then I'm going to keep playing. If not, then I'll go home.

That was a blooper down the line and I was playing him in the gap, ... You would never expect him to hit the ball down the right field line.

It's a situation I like to be in, ... It's good that they have that confidence in be, and it's good that I did the job. Now they'll have even more confidence next time.

It's all right. We're going to win. It's a game that sometimes goes in a different direction. But we're going to go home, and we know the way we've been playing, we don't have to worry about it.

I want to do what I know I can do. When you're not 100 percent it's hard. But now seeing that I'm 100 percent, it's good to be back.

I know I can help this club. They've got a good, young team, and sometimes it takes experience.

I don't want to get hurt and miss September. I want to do it right now, and I'll be fine.
