cart discuss good putting talk
We have options. It wouldn't do any good to discuss them before I talk to Bill. That would be putting the cart before the horse.
contract talked
We haven't talked to Mel and we haven't talked about Mel. He's still under contract with the Yankees.
When it slows down, I'll let you know.
good jeremy matt plays swings switch time
Matt has been a good big-league player. We'll make the switch to get him some at-bats ... give Jeremy time to regroup. If Matt swings and plays the way Matt can, it will make things interesting.
few situation
That was the big out of the inning. You get one out in that situation and there's a few things you can do.
great lacking runs slide
That was a great slide and we got two runs out of it. That is something we have been lacking all year.
adversity capable everybody players year
That wasn't what we thought he's capable of. Sometimes young players are better players from the adversity that they have to go through. We'll see with Jeremy. But that wasn't the year that everybody expected.
charge hit saw slow
That was not hit hard, but it was no slow roller. I saw him charge and he made it look easy.
blessed cursed entire expect face fact meet realize walks
I think every day he walks out and you look at his face you realize you expect too much out of him because he's only 19 years old. He's going to be cursed and blessed his entire career. There are going to be big expectations for him. He's blessed in the fact that he probably can meet those expectations more times than not. It's kind of a double-edged sword.
added bases earlier load rest run score sort
When you load the bases with no outs, you want to score more than one run. When we added Lopez's two to the run we got earlier that inning, it was sort of a springboard for the rest of the game.
albert charge coach lack level stayed sure
We had a coach who was with Albert at every level Albert went. He was Albert's babysitter, for lack of a better word. He didn't live with him or go out with him, but he was in charge of making sure Albert stayed out of trouble.
four nine pitch sad
We pitched well for four innings. The sad thing is you have to pitch well for nine innings.
four innings nine pitch sad
We pitched well for four innings and we didn't pitch well for five. The sad thing is you need to pitch well for nine innings.
score win
We pitched well enough to win tonight. We just didn't score any runs.
