I think it was good to get one of these in. Generally you encounter in spring every situation you'd face in the regular season. This was another one of those.

I'm glad the offense is doing what they were doing. In spring you encounter just about every situation you'll face during the regular season. Today it was sitting for a while.

I think as they all get a little more comfortable, I think they'll all start picking my brain a bit. I'm open to all that.

I'm so excited. Man, it's going to be awesome. Last year's Opening Day was a day game in Baltimore, and it didn't really have the sort of atmosphere this year will have. We'll be at home, it's the Yankees and Randy Johnson -- that's just perfect. It couldn't be any better.

You just learn these lessons and hopefully you only learn them once. I only want to learn the lesson last Monday just once. The key is just staying within yourself. I just have to trust my stuff.

bounce sitting waiting
Yeah, he was sitting all over it. It was going to bounce in the dirt, but he'd been waiting for it all that (four-pitch) at-bat. There's not much you can do about that.

We're a totally different team than we were in April, ... We're totally resilient. The team confidence is the reason that we do come back in a game like this.
guy taoism want
Regardless of what you want to call it, guys need some type of spirituality they can grab onto. If it's Christianity, which is a very structured approach, or if it's something that's a little more open-ended... like, Zen's something you can make yourself a part of. You can interpret it for yourself, like Taoism and stuff like that.
