I don't know it's just good timing I guess. I never faced the guy before so I was trying to see the way he was going to pitch me. The first pitch was middle in, a slider. I was looking for a pitch and I hit it good. I focused just to see the ball and to try and get a good pitch.

I've been trying everything. My swing has been really inconsistent this year. Today I felt pretty good, so I hope it stays like that for a while.

It was crazy in Venezuela, unbelievable.

We're pretty good, I think we have a good chance in a short series.

When you're feeling the way he's feeling, it's like you have two knocks when you show up at the ballpark. And then he gets three or four. The second half, he's been unreal. Great defense, getting on base, driving in runs. He's been huge.

If I was not going to be selected for Venezuela, I was going to play for another country. I want to be part of history. Now that I'm on the Venezuelan team, it's perfect. I was born here and I was raised here. It's an honor.

The notion of a World Baseball Classic is a tremendous idea. This isn't two U.S teams, but a true world championship. It's an opportunity to play against guys you've never faced in your life.

We're trying to win as much as we can. This one's going to hurt a little bit because the next two series are going to be really important. We're just trying to win every game. We don't have much time left.

That team had incredible chemistry and a winning mood from the moment you walked into the dugout.
