gangsters walking
A lot of gangsters used to be walking up and down the street, up and down, up and down. You don't see that anymore. ... It's quiet.
crowds night player pro
Big crowds every night - it'll be very different from Pro Player Stadium.
balls hard hit
That was something I needed. I've hit some balls hard lately, but I didn't have anything to show for it.
bless god people
I'm here to say God bless those people man. God bless,
hit homer
This homer is even more important than the one I hit for the Marlins in the World Series. This was for my country.
hotel percent sad staying team turn
I'm not mad, sad because they told me I made the team 100 percent and they turn me out. They told me I was staying in a Marriott hotel and that we'd be working out at 5:30 Friday.
assess difference early help late numbers ready starting trying value
It's a new role. I'm getting used to having to get ready late in the game. You can sense a difference from starting every day, but I think it's too early to assess any kind of numbers any of us have. I'm trying to find the value of it, and what I can do to help the team.
helping
I feel like I am helping brothers... my American brothers.
guy
I want to play, ... I don't feel like the same Alex, the guy you see every day.
three
It's sad. They have a young team, and it's going to be like in '98 or '99. But in two or three years, they could be like us.
glad totally
I can't say I'm totally disappointed, I'm more sad. I'm glad to be back with my team. I can play more here. It's a new league, new pitchers.
bat game win
I can't put away my defense. If you're not doing nothing with the bat for one night, you can go 0-for-4 and win the game with your glove.
start until wait wednesday
I've got to wait until Wednesday until I start throwing, hitting, see how it feels, ... I want to take my time.
happy help team
I'm just happy to help my team out.
