behind came count good hit laid rodriguez
Rodriguez has got good stuff, and Lopez laid off that curveball when he got behind and got the count 3-2, and then hit the double. Betancourt came through in a big situation. That's good to see.
came jeff threw
Jeff came in and threw strikes. He competed. And he's versatile, too. He can start, he can relieve, he can spot-start.
came discussed guy names
We discussed names and Jaime is the guy we came up with, ... Jamie.
badly came feeling good indication miss shut threw typical
It's not very typical of him to miss as badly as he missed. That was an indication that he was feeling it tonight. But he shut them down pretty good and came back and threw well.
came hardest hit
He came out of it OK. I told him that's the hardest he's hit anything all spring.
box crew game inches middle rat seven sitting six sudden took walked
We're sitting there in the middle of the game and all of a sudden a rat walked into our dugout. It must have been about six or seven inches long. It took a while for someone from the grounds crew to come get it, put it in a box and take it away.
guys holding invented japan seen somebody trick year
Usually it's two guys holding the victim, but this was even better. I think this trick was invented when Abner Doubleday started this game, and every year there's somebody who hasn't seen it. We had to go all the way to Japan to find someone this time.
bunt choice good great runner second
With no outs and a runner on second, it's a good play. It was his choice to get the runner over like that, and it was his second great bunt in two nights.
guy job looking offense
We're looking for a guy who can do the job defensively, first of all. Offense would be a plus.
lists minds names putting together
We're putting together lists of names and are narrowing it down. It's important in our minds to do this quickly. But it's more important that we get the right guy.
mental specific talk
There are some specific things we wanted to talk to Felix about. They're more mental things than anything else.
game redeeming
The only redeeming thing about this game is, it's over.
august bullpen continue fifth gas guys september starting year
We've been in our bullpen with a lot of regularity this year in the fifth inning or starting the sixth. We've had to use (Julio) Mateo, (J.J.) Putz and (Rafael) Soriano in two-inning stints a lot already this year. If we continue to do that, when we get to August and September and we're in this, those guys are going to be out of gas because we had to use them so much.
against ball pitches threw
Our pitches got very tentative. You can't get tentative against a lineup like the Yankees. We threw ball one, ball two.
