We really went at it hard like professionals. They deserve the credit. I'd rather give them credit than make excuses.
base deserves england face faking fan likeable pro time united
He's become the face of a big part of the United States, a big part of the New England fan base and he deserves it. He's a pro on and off the field, a very likeable guy, and he's true. He's legit. He's not faking anything for a long time now, and he deserves everything he's got right now.
bigger david deserves everybody hitter home market moved people productive
Back at home, everybody always thought that David was going to be big time. When he was in Minnesota, a lot of people thought that he was going to be a productive hitter there. But he's moved on to a bigger market and he's done what he's done, and he deserves everything that he's getting.

Daniel deserves all the credit. We had several scoring opportunities to break the game open. We didn't do it but our pitching staff came through.

I think we can play a lot better. I think we could have scored at least 12 runs. We didn't do the things we were supposed to do.

It is a sign of what we can do.

Our guys take it very serious and show a lot of pride in this kind of stuff.

Just because he's tied for the league lead, that doesn't mean you can't run on him. So what are you going to do? He made a good throw. You gave to give credit to him.

Knowing Pedro, he doesn't want to participate just to participate.
earlier exhibition five games players six spring start training week
I would start spring training a week earlier so the players would get five or six exhibition games in before starting.
basically beat caribbean fans involved players spanish speak took whether whoever
Most of the players here were not involved in the Caribbean Series. That was something that basically the fans were the ones that were really involved in that, took it personal. We were going to try to beat whoever we faced, whether they speak English, Spanish or Italian.
everybody fell good hit lack people pitching tournament
I think our pitching was great. Actually things kind of flip-flopped a little bit. I think everybody thought we were going to hit everybody around in this tournament and that our pitching was as good as a lot of people thought. Our pitching did a very good job, and we just fell short. It wasn't lack of pitching at all.
baseball break desire everybody guys last played prepared saw seventh themselves whatever
I think everybody in baseball knew, even before the All-Star break last year, that we were going to play this Baseball Classic, and everybody that had the desire to play prepared themselves to play for this tournament. Yes, they didn't have 100 at-bats or whatever before this, but we got all the way to the seventh game. We played two rounds, the guys saw enough pitches, they had enough at-bats. There are no excuses.
