He's telling me all the work he's doing. Hopefully, that's the case.
And it's been work for him. I think I discovered over the years how hard it is to do what he does because he doesn't have the instincts a lot of these players have.
His arm is getting the work it needs, but he really didn't get a whole lot of game work. It was a setback, and it will probably add a couple of weeks to his rehab.
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.
He's really enjoying himself, ... especially if you go back 12 months and where he was a year ago. He's worked hard. It's not something that just dropped on his doorstep. It's something he's had to work through mentally and physically.
There's no question it's a matter of concern. But this is not something new with Mo. He's had this before and usually been able to work through it.
Randy was great, we just didn't give him anything to work with.
I think he throws him out if he gets a clean release. That's the play. It just didn't work out.
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.
