Manny Acta Quotations

We're going to play to win, but as managers we also have the responsibility to have these guys ready for the regular season.

I can see why they are dominating international competition.

Everybody who had the desire to play prepared themselves for this tournament. Our guys saw enough pitches. They had enough at-bats. No excuses.

I think we could play a lot better than what we played. I think we should have scored at least 12 runs.

It's over, the second round, we went through it, and I feel fantastic because most of the guys now are in playing shape. The pitchers have been able to go out there more than once, and the hitters had enough at-bats, so I'm happy for the guys.

Daniel deserves all the credit. We had several scoring opportunities to break the game open. We didn't do it but our pitching staff came through.

Our guys take it very serious and show a lot of pride in this kind of stuff.

This will be a game watched by every Dominican soul, the 8 million we have on the island and all the others spread around the world.

Cabrera just stepped up and did a great job.

I think our pitching was great. Actually things kind of flip-flopped a little bit. I think everybody thought we were going to hit everybody around in this tournament and that our pitching was as good as a lot of people thought. Our pitching did a very good job, and we just fell short. It wasn't lack of pitching at all.
