That's what the game is all about. We have 25 guys, 11 pitchers, and we need everybody to contribute.
I've talked to him all year about thinking small, and big things will happen. When you're fighting for a pennant, everybody here will remember that at-bat (on Saturday) rather than a two-run home run when you're up by six runs. I don't think he would have done that last year because he would have been trying to do something bigger.
Right now we're just digesting all the information and hoping that everybody gets through all these games without a problem. We'll wait as long as we can.
It's tough to tell you, aside from Randy and Moose, who the other starters are going to be. Right now we're just digesting all the information and hope everybody gets through all these games without a problem.
Don't even think that. Everybody should have your heart.
Every time the Yankees go to spring training, you have to be thinking World Series. I don't think that's a disrespect to any other team. It's just understanding the pressure that goes with playing here.
The Yankees want to get Brian done, ... I'd be disappointed if Brian left.
If it rains, that's one thing. Now if it doesn't stop -- then we've got an issue.
I didn't say we had to stop there,
My only concern was that he'd alienate himself from the rest of the club but I didn't see that happen.
They are a thunder. They can put winning streaks together before you blink your eye.
I don't really know the nature of it. The fact that he hit, that's a good sign for us. Hopefully it's just something that's connected with Spring Training.
I'm very comfortable working with Brian and I certainly hope that they find a way to get it done.
I'd like to say we're experienced enough that that's not going to happen. But the whole thing about hitting and pitching is the feel you get and the psychological edge you think you have. Unless you've had success, it's hard to latch onto that.
