It was probably the worst the wind has been. You couldn't really read it.
strong
Awesome. It is exciting, and Mark's a big, strong guy.
happen hits home main runs trying
The main thing for me is that I'm just trying to get my hits. The home runs will come, and sometimes they come in bunches. I just look for the hits and if (home runs) happen they happen.

It's just a little sore. We'll see how it feels tomorrow and go from there.
barrier everybody flags language people understood yelling
You're not just representing the people of Cincinnati, you're representing everybody. It was different. You'd see all the flags and the people yelling and the uniforms. The language barrier was a little tough. But for the most part, everybody understood one thing - baseball.
break excuse press sorry
Excuse me, sorry to break up your press conference. This is how we do it in Cincinnati, we don?t have like 35 (reporters) here.
helps
We were able to get some runs. That helps out Ramon.
bunch game next rather stuff wrong
You'd rather have everything go wrong on one day than things go wrong on a bunch of days. Hopefully, we got all that stuff out of the way and we'll come back the next game and have some fun.
beneficial both certain decision good helps mutual needed time
There are certain things that are good for the player, good for the team. It was a mutual decision on what we needed at the time. Time helps and they needed the spot. It's beneficial for both of us.
We're going to come in and see tomorrow.

When I was 16, I was working at Queen City Speedway. I made $84 and change one week, then my mama told me to quit to concentrate on baseball.
