felt hits third
Right when we got the third out, that's when I felt tired. That's when it hits you.
both great hit run team third
They both have great bullpens. This team has speed. They like to go from first to third and will hit and run any time.
either good
I thought that was a good pitch. I thought it was a strike. But it could go either way.
foot hit impression replay watched
I thought he was out because I thought he hit me with his spikes, right on my arm. That's what my first impression was. These guys, they watched the replay and they told me that what hit me was the knee, and the foot was already on the plate. So he was safe.
location time
Location more than anything. At the same time you see how he pitched. He did great.
came knowing player
We've got to come in and do our thing. We're not just any player on the team. We came here knowing what we need to do.
game hopefully middle pitches plate pray
The only thing we can do is probably pray a lot. Hopefully he makes a lot of pitches up the middle of the plate and he's not on his game that day.
coming deserve
To go to the playoffs, at this stage, after what we've done, we deserve this celebration. We got it done right away. We don't have to think about them coming back or any of that.
believe league disrespect
There's a lot of disrespect in the major leagues. I believe that the disrespect in the major leagues is at a high rate and is really bad for the gam
mom dad humble
My dad and my mom had to sacrifice so much, and had to teach us and show us the way of going about things, how to be humble, all those things. They helped us stay on track for what we wanted to do.
opportunity league nervous
I was very nervous, excited, and happy to be given the opportunity to even be in the major leagues.
sports baseball motivation
You have to have a lot of motivation, a lot of heart and be able to work hard. You can never be down on yourself because baseball is a sport that will bring you down [at times].
heart angel player
I liked playing with David Eckstein (former Angels shortstop). I'm not talking about players with top skills, I'm sure there were players with way more skill than him, but there were very few people in the league that had the heart like him.
video stadiums
When I got to the stadium, one of my biggest things was watching video of hitters.
