We're not done. We're just going to continue playing and hoping to put some wins together again.
I think we showed everybody what Latin baseball is all about. That's the way we do it. For either side, we showed the passion of the game.
Those guys did a good job. I felt like I was throwing the ball good.
We did this together. We, as a team, made history tonight.
Hopefully they consider that. What's going to happen? I don't know.
Today, I think we showed what Latin baseball is all about. That's what we do.
I'm all right. It's been like this for a few weeks.
I felt pretty good today. I was throwing the fastball in and out of the plate and I was able to throw my change-up. It was a nice day.
I felt pretty good. I didn't feel anything at all, ... I was able to throw all my pitches, and the slider, which had hurt the most.
I didn't want to go on the DL. I want to keep pitching and competing. They decided it's better for me to take some time off and that's what we're going to do.
I feel pretty good about it. We've added some different players. If everybody can get it together, I'll be very excited.

What's going to happen in spring training, we don't know. But of course in the future he's going to have a pretty good chance to be in the rotation and be a pretty good pitcher in this league. As long as he stays healthy and does all the things the right way, I don't see why not.
