It's tough to explain. You can mention a lot of things, and I can't discount any of them.
That was hugely important. We have no days off the rest of the way. Fortunately, we were able to get Randy a big lead so he didn't have to work through another tough game.
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.
His batting practice has been better. Again, it's so tough coming in here as late as he did and being thrown into the mix.
Things like that happen. That's why baseball is so unpredictable. You don't play it by the clock. You can't freeze the ball. You have to get every single out, and every single one of those outs, especially the last five or six, are very tough to get.
He doesn't need a day off, Cairo needs a day to play. If you're going to do it, you may as well find a guy that's been tough on left-handers.
That kid's not easy. He didn't have great command tonight, but that makes him even harder to hit off of. As a hitter, you like to zero in. When he's missing spots than making good pitches, it makes him tougher to hit.
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.
