More Rafael Betancourt on Wikipedia.If it happens, I'd like to be there. Two years ago, if you asked me whether I had a chance to be on the Venezuelan team, I would probably say no. But all the work I put in made it possible.
I made a mistake and when you make a mistake you pay for it. I couldn't throw strikes. I walked a guy before that and it hurt me.
He's still in good shape. He's still the same guy. He could probably play four more years.
I don't think there's anything to worry about. We're going to be fine. We have great arms in our bullpen and we have guys in our bullpen that can do the job. Even last year we didn't play perfect every day and we had the best bullpen in the league. It's better to have this problem early in the season rather than late.
I felt fine. The plan now is to do this every day.
I've been throwing 93-94. That's what I throw during the season. I've never done that in spring training. This is a big-league tournament.
You hear the national anthem for your country. I think it's the best feeling I've ever had.
It's nice and quiet. That's the way I like it. I don't like a lot of noise.
