cares george gets investment joe owns paid reflected work
George Steinbrenner owns this club, has a big investment in it, and he cares passionately about it. That is sometimes reflected in his comments. But Joe Torre gets paid to make these decisions. Some work out and some don't.
hits hitter rather
I'd rather have a hitter who hits .325 with 25 homers and 100-plus RBI than a .270 hitter with 35 to 40 homers and 100 RBI.
feels maybe pinch run
He's not worried. He feels he can pinch run right now and maybe hit.
ability average batting help though whether
He's got some ability, even though the batting average has been low. We'll see what he can do and whether he can help us.
ask guys run
I couldn't ask any of those other guys to run any faster.
ask coaching corners count discuss help joe possibilities provide staff sure whatever work yankees york
I can't count how many times Bernie has said the following: I will do whatever the New York Yankees ask me to do to try and help us win. So if Joe Torre and our coaching staff feel that work on the corners is something that will provide more flexibility and more playing-time possibilities for him, then I'm sure they'll discuss that with him.
convince expressed level
I can't convince him to pitch; he has to want to pitch. There's nothing for us to do on our end. We expressed our level of interest.
diagnosis prepared
I'm not prepared to say the diagnosis other than he tweaked his back. He had some stiffness.
diagnosis prepared time trying
I'm not prepared to say a diagnosis other than he tweaked his back and had some stiffness. I'm not trying to be evasive, but at the same time I don't want to say that there is something specific.
expressing gives glad guys mike opinion run
I'm glad that Mike has got an opinion and is expressing it because it gives you guys a lot more to run with than I've been providing.
both teams unfair
I'm not going to say it's unfair because both teams have to go through it. But it's unfortunate. I don't like it. But there's nothing we can do about it.
asked commenting discuss future handle regarding season until wait
I'm not commenting on anything regarding my future. I've asked that we wait until after the season to discuss all that, and the way we're going to handle it.
ahead asked guys knew option page question rather stay year
I knew (the option year of his contract) would be the first question you guys asked him. So I wanted to stay ahead of it and get on the same page with him, rather than play catch-up.
anywhere eighth fine ninth york
The eighth inning in New York is like the ninth inning anywhere else. Tommy will be fine in the ninth. He's done it before. What he did for us was remarkable.
