continue improve overall
We know that we can get by with a big inning, but we need to continue to improve overall and we should be all right.
control mistakes
He's a control guy, a change-speed guy. He didn't make any mistakes on the big part of the plate. He pitched his game.
found good help johnny knows men teammates veteran
He's a good dude. I found that out right away. Obviously, he's going to be a good player, and he knows how to act, too. I want to be there to help him out. But I don't want to overkill him with Johnny Veteran stuff. We're all men here and we're all teammates here. Plus, I like him.
easy realize tough
We were so close, ... and we realize how tough it is to get so close. It ain't easy to do what we did.
ball country force hits middle
Travis hits the ball a country mile. He's really a devastating force in the middle of our lineup.
believes playing
You know what? ... I know no one believes me. But we don't really care. We just want to keep playing the way we've been playing.
believe guys
I don't think you guys believe me, but we really don't care, ... If we play well, we'll be where we want to be.
again backs believe meant ready roll win
I don't think it was meant for us to win today. But I believe this will roll off our backs pretty easily, and we'll be ready to go at it again on Tuesday.
good grip simple threw
I got it clean. I had a good grip on it. I just threw it away. It's as simple as that. I didn't make a good throw, period.
feels issue knee last
My knee feels probably better than last year. Having said that, the knee really wasn't an issue (last year). My issue was rust.
goes guy importance time
Obviously, we know the importance C.C. has to this team, so any time a guy like that goes down there is some concern. But you feel for him as a person more than anything.
dad game good people sounds time win
My dad used to say all the time to go out and win this inning. It's one pitch, one inning, one game at a time. It sounds ridiculous, but people who are good at doing it have more success.
yankees jeter ghost
Derek (Jeter) told me the ghosts would show up eventually!
home thinking play
I don't know why we play better on the road. I really don't. Chalk it up to coincidence, I guess. I don't think we care where we play, which is a good thing. But you'd like to see our home record be a little better than it is.
