It took me three times to get a 'hello' out of him the other day. But he certainly has a great deal of poise for a young pitcher.
A flag goes up after three days in a row.
Probably three or four days, that would be my guess. The good news is that he didn't tear it.
I'm comfortable with the way he's swinging the bat. We might as well take advantage of it while we have three catchers. It would be a little tougher to do if we only had two.
When you're down to 20 games left, it's hugely important. Knowing we still have control of things with the last three games against these guys, we just have to work very hard between now and then so those games will be significant.
Three games to go and we hold our future in our hands. We couldn't be going in under any better circumstances.
He bounced back and got the three outs. He just has to get a little more consistent with his command. I thought he threw the ball good.
Gordon has been terrific. He's come in the last three times with no room to breathe and has done the job for us.
You certainly don't want to do anything, physically, that's going to hurt him. In all likelihood, if he's available, it will be for something significant. Not three or four innings, but more than one hitter.
I'm very comfortable working with Brian and I certainly hope that they find a way to get it done.
In games that Alex does not contribute with his bat, he's helped us win ballgames, so I think that should be part of the equation. I think it's a part David doesn't have.
(In) Game 6, the way he came into Yankee Stadium and pretty much dominated us - that's a memory that will be hard to lose. That had to be one of the most pressure outings you'll ever see in that situation.
I know the players were all happy for him because for a long time, he really wasn't getting it done, and they knew how hard he was working. So I'm just very pleased for him.
I knew he would embrace it, but you don't know how he's going to be able to do it. He's been situated in one place for so long, and coming off the bench is different than playing every day. He's been doing a little bit of everything here.
