I enjoyed it. I would recommend it to anyone who had the chance to play. It was a good experience besides the results.
He's the owner of the team. He doesn't want anyone to get hurt. He's entitled to his opinion. He's The Boss.
Even in the minors or at the All-Star game, you're still part of the Yankees. It's going to seem weird to put on another uniform and play for another team. It's a new situation for me but I'm looking forward to it.
Every game they pitch, ... we know is an opportunity to win.
A lot of the guys are pretty accustomed to how things work here.
Names don't win games. We have to go out and swing the bats more. You don't want to fall behind this club because their bullpen is pretty good.
He doesn't know what the crowd is going to do in Boston. He does not know.
I don't think he's done pitching. That has nothing to do with any conversation I had with him. He loves to compete, and he pitched well.
I don't know if we would have gotten him anyway.
People say this is the greatest offense ever. But let us play awhile. Names don't win games. You have to play the games.
The last thing you need when you're not going well is to look over and see panic on your manager's face. With Joe, he always looks like he's in control. I mean, from being around him so long, I can tell when he's angry. But panic, that's something you'll never see from him.
He has been big. Today was as wild as he has been, and he still found a way. He gives us an opportunity to win every time he goes out on the mound.
I assume the Adrenalin will be flowing. If it's a close game and we have a chance to win the championship, it might seem like the World Series. I have no idea. I've had guys tell me the feeling is pretty special.
I think everyone in the ballpark thought that ball was out. I few feet over, and we have the lead.
