Their bullpen is pretty good. Any guy they throw out there doesn't put you in an ideal situation as a hitter.
The feeling is that it's over. It doesn't always happen, but that's the feeling you have. Mo has been automatic for a while.
I remember coming up. I came up in May first and then I came back up in September. A lot of times, you're a little skeptical to say things and do things because you're around some different guys. So I always try to go out of my way to make sure everyone feels comfortable. You want everyone to feel a part of the team.
I know I said it last year, but winning the Gold Glove for the second consecutive season is extremely gratifying. Defense usually doesn't make many headlines, but it goes a long way towards winning baseball games,
I have to give them credit. They seem to find ways to beat us.
I probably took my eye off it a little too soon. I haven't seen a replay of it, but I've got to make that play. Wang was really pitching well, he was in a groove. But after that mistake, they really took advantage of it.
They just pitched well, top to bottom. We didn't see any of them more than once tonight, and they all pitched well against us.
After that mistake they really took advantage of it. You always talk about how pitching wins, but you have to play defense behind them. Everybody's talking about our offense, but it doesn't win games. You need pitching and defense.
If we beat them, it still doesn't make up for what happened last year. They've got great defense and a bullpen that's one of the best. They do all the little things. I think they're a pest for everybody. Yeah, we've had some rough elimination games there. You remember them, but you don't really think about them while you're playing. We've been eliminated in other places.
If you're going to win, ... you have to have the best team . So if somebody goes down, somebody else has to pick it up.
If you ask me, I don't think he's done pitching. I don't have to sell Rocket on playing in New York. He knows what's it like.
If you ask me, I don't think he's done pitching, but that has nothing to do with what he's said to me. It has nothing to do with any conversation we've had.
In the end, it was fun. I would recommend it to anyone that has the opportunity next time it comes around. It was a fun experience, right up until tonight.
He's that way in the dugout during games,
