This is a very proud moment for him. I'm very pleased with the year he had. He's getting more comfortable here in New York. Alex helped us win so many games, both offensively and defensively, and he continues to improve.
It's a battle for us, ... and it's a battle for them.
It was only a mistake because it's spring training.
It was going to be an emotional letdown if the result was any other way.
It was dynamite. I wasn't sure if I was going to make it, but it was really great.
It was down. But Alex was able to get underneath it.
That's pretty incredible. The shape he's in, the way he works, who knows where he's going.
That's the first thing I thought was, Oh my God! It's just crazy, it really is.
That's about as scary as it gets. We're just happy the results are what they were.
That kid's not easy. He didn't have great command tonight, but that makes him even harder to hit off of. As a hitter, you like to zero in. When he's missing spots than making good pitches, it makes him tougher to hit.
That lacked respect last night. Winning and losing had nothing to do with it. I just thought it was time to acknowledge what he's done here.
It's nice to have writers write nice things about you and guys on radio and TV say nice things about you, but the guy who's in the locker next to you is the one you play the game for.
It's nice to have the opportunity to win every year but it wears on you to know you have to win the World Series for it to be deemed a good year,
They've gone into a little downturn. But they're too good a team to stay down.
