He's been doing it every time out. We missed him when he was out, and now he's healthy and he's picking up where he left off.
He's done it for us before. He pitched well. He pitched well for us. He didn't do it as consistently as he probably would have liked to, but he's got great stuff and he mixes it up.
Well, you don't have to look at the scoreboard anymore.
We made mistakes. That's what cost us a couple of runs.
He was hot and it came at the right time.
He was running around the bases so much, maybe he should be a leadoff hitter.
He doesn't know what the crowd is going to do in Boston. He does not know.
He got into trouble early on but he pitched out. That's exactly what we needed.
He needed an oxygen tank there. It was kind of funny to watch.
Baseball in the past has taken a back seat to some of the other sports in terms of expansion. This is a huge step. You've got the players' association and the owners coming together on this. I think it's a great idea. People have questioned the timing of it, but when you think about it, when else are you going to have it?
I don't have to sell Rocket on playing in New York. He's had success here and he enjoyed his time here.
We've faced him 100 times playing with Baltimore. He's always been pretty tough. He knows how to pitch. He mixes it up.
Good for him. Now he has the chance to be remembered for something other than just catching a home run.
He can play. He has an approach, and he sticks to it. He can pretty much do it all.
