Guerrero Jr. Makes Honest Statement After Guardians
After the game, Guerrero Jr. spoke to Sportsnet.
Hazel Mae: “Your RBI single in the sixth inning, Vladdy, gives you 1,200 hits now for your career. Congratulations. With 22 games left to go, what will you concentrate on? What will you focus on as far as your swing and your offense?”
Guerrero Jr.: “I don’t focus on that. I just trying to help the team to win. If we win, that’s all that matters. As now, I don’t think about my numbers. I don’t think about anything. I just try to help the team to win, and whatever I can help them to win.”
Mae: “I know this is a season that has been disappointing for you. How challenging is it, Vladdy, to go through the ups and downs of a season when you’re hitting in the middle of the order? Is that tough?”
Guerrero Jr.: “It’s not tough because I got 25 guys. They believe in me, and they believe everybody in here. And when you got support behind you, you can pass everything. I think for me it’s been a lot of ups and downs, but I will still focus. I will go out there and try to do my best to help the team to win.”
