lucky nobody
He's always been tough. He didn't play around with nobody today. You (were) lucky to get a hit.

because we have to clean up this sport.
everybody good knew last republic surprised team teams usa wants
I think the whole world is surprised to see that the USA lost. I mean, everybody knew that they had a good team . . . I think the whole world wants to see the USA and the Dominican Republic as the last two teams playing.
beat face lucky randy today
Today is my lucky day. When you face Randy Johnson, you have to be ready. He's so good. He can beat you with any pitch, like today.
players reach
his players have been out of reach for us.
easy games great playing
I don't think about streaks. I mean, it's great to be playing so many games when I play the way I play. I'm really proud. It's not easy to do.
baseball good means tournament
For us, this means a lot. We are a baseball country. I think this tournament will show who we are, how good at baseball we really are.
feeling felt hitting pain telling
He just told me that he felt pain and was tired, ... He was telling me he wasn't hitting very well. I told him that in the Dominican when we're feeling like that we take B-12 and we don't feel like that anymore.
brought mad name
He just said he brought up my name because he told them everything he was taking. I'm not mad at him because I didn't do anything wrong.
best fit playing
I think the best way to keep fit is playing ball. I don't know how to do anything else and I don't like anything else but baseball.
community friend good help home mine second teammate venezuela
I'm here because Melvin is a good friend of mine and a teammate of mine. It's a good cause, and anything I can do to help the community here, I will. Venezuela has been like a home to me. It is my second home.
ball threw throw
That was my bad. I didn't think Byrnes was going to throw the ball to me. I thought he was going to throw home. I just threw the ball late.
best change direction gone
I have been with the Orioles for two years and things haven't gone in the direction that we were expecting. So I think the best thing will be a change of scenery.
bother caught gave
It doesn't bother me because I'm not guilty. I've done nothing wrong. I just gave him B-12, and B-12 is legal. You don't get caught for B-12.
