Carlos Gomez on being benched for being in a slump:
=93I know the manager say, `Carlos, you=92re not in the lineup today.
Don=92t be like, `Uh-oh.=92 =94 I say, `You don=92t have to tell me this.
I=
=92m
on the team. I start the game, or I=92ll be ready where you can use me
later and you can use me to win the game with defense, with speed.=94
----------------
See people, it doesn't matter if Carlos plays the whole game, half the
game, or at the end of the game. In his mind he's going to win the
game with his speed and defense.
(In other words, he doesn't need to get on base in order to win the
game for the Twins.)
