aaron balanced stronger
We are stronger and more balanced with Aaron there. Aaron makes the whole nucleus that much better.
coach great help pick pitching tweak
We think we can help him in some cases. He's always had a great arm. Mechanically, there's always something a pitching coach can pick up to tweak a little bit. Sometimes they work, sometimes they don't.
defensive saw spring thunder
We thought he was a defensive guy. Then in spring training, we saw he had some thunder in his hands. We'll take it.
bad bit hurting obviously picking time
We're obviously picking a bad time to go into a little bit of a swoon. And it's hurting us.
ability decisions faith player
You have to have a lot of self-confidence to get by in New York. If you have faith in your ability as a player or the decisions you make as a manager, you can do well. But if there are any cracks, they come out, because everything is magnified.
guys talk
You guys must not have much to talk about.
anytime bad broke game gotten hell home loose obviously pitcher pitches quick wrong
Today, obviously it's pretty much bad game management. Anytime you give up 0-2 home runs, that's not what you want to do. We had that quick 1-2-3 pitcher and then all hell broke loose in that one inning where he should have gotten out of that real easy. He just made bad pitches at the wrong time.
gotten momentum obviously
Those were big plays. Could have obviously gotten us some momentum going.

We'll get two out of three and be satisfied with that.

chance stayed understanding win
We had an understanding of that going into the game, ... If we had a chance to win the game, he would have stayed in.
feeling might onto playing rush
To put him on the DL right away would be playing it safe, obviously. But it's also important that we don't rush him onto the DL because he is feeling better today. So even if he doesn't play this weekend, he might be able to go on Tuesday.
nice slogan
You have to have that every year, especially in this town. That's a nice slogan to adopt.
adjust learned pace selective
You have to pace yourself. You have to adjust mentally. When you get tired, you're not selective enough. He's learned a little about making adjustments.
