changes view
It was not a pretty view from my angle. The way he was pitching, the things he was doing, when he comes out of the game, it really changes everything around.
ahead love ourselves uniform
It's something we can't get ahead of ourselves on. There's things you can't control, but I want to. I'm a Yankee. I love to put that uniform on.
We've got to do it. We've been down 0-1 before, and we know how to do it.
ball both gives hits location mitt obviously possible sides work works
He gives me a lot to work with. He does everything possible to keep them off balance. He obviously works both sides of the plate. His location is unbelievable -- when I want the ball up or the ball down, he hits my mitt pretty much consistent. And that's why he's doing what he's doing.
ask chance gave time
Wang really battled. He gave us a chance to win, which is all we can ask of him. He's getting better every time out there.
You don't know what he's going to do, ... He's tough. You have to give him a lot of respect.
best
You go for the best pitcher. He's been the best pitcher.
ball home knows liked pitcher strike
I liked what I saw. He just got a ball up (in the strike zone) on the home run. I know what he can do. He's a ground-ball pitcher and he knows he's got to keep the ball down to be successful.
