amazing anybody baseball coach job last managing maybe physical pitching problems wish yankees
They went through the last two years something I wouldn't wish on anybody because of all their physical problems, ... That's an amazing job Mel did. Maybe the only job in baseball as complicated as managing the Yankees is being pitching coach for the Yankees.
maybe staying
It's like when 'Seinfeld' went off the air, ... By staying around maybe you dilute what you've accomplished.
begun bigger game happened history legacy maybe might name time type white
I think that game might have permanently etched Buehrle's name in White Sox history and maybe even begun a legacy type of thing. It couldn't have happened at a better time or a bigger moment.
amazed beyond maybe stop
This is beyond what I was expecting. It's pretty amazing. I don't know, maybe I should stop being amazed by these guys.
concerned freddy good looked main maybe pitching
Again, I'm concerned about a lot of things, being the pitching coach. Freddy being good wasn't one of them. I know Freddy is good. We all know what he could do. My main concern was the other day when he looked for that fastball, it wasn't there. But you know what? Maybe it just wasn't time.
thoughts win
My thoughts are here, and I want to be here, ... I want to win this now, here. That's my only focus.
attended individual people pump unless
Every individual has been attended to. But you can't simulate what it's like unless you pump 50,000 people into the stands.
leaning point toward
I do think that at some point or another this season, we're going to need 12 pitchers, but we're leaning toward 11 right now. That's probably going to happen.
above believe beyond deep expect good
I always expect good performances out of our starters, want them to go deep and believe in them -- but what they did is way above and beyond my expectations and those of a lot of other people.
jumping nobody
Hey, everything is up for grabs. Nobody is jumping up, so we will look in-house here, down below.
aware george winning yankees
I'm aware of it. What do I think? Flattering, interesting, ... George Steinbrenner and the Yankees ? there's no more winning organization.
less man third
If there's a man on third and less than two outs, El Duque isn't going to feel pressure,
cuban threw
Because he threw like that in Cuba, Duque said, 'Hey, let's go back to being a Cuban pitcher,'
happens
I'm concerned. If it happens again, I'm more concerned.
