bell buddy close friend hope leave personal streak winning wish worst
You don't wish something like that on anybody. What they're going through, you don't wish that on your worst enemy. Buddy Bell is a real close personal friend of mine. I hope they go on a winning streak when they leave here.
extra giving jamie starts winds
We're giving Jamie an extra day of rest. And this way it winds up giving him two starts at home.
score win
We pitched well enough to win tonight. We just didn't score any runs.
good last win
He's pitched well every outing. The last two have been exceptionally well pitched. But he's been good every outing. It's good to be able to win one when he's pitched well.
behind bob dan game wilson wins
I don't see how Bob Wolcott wins that game had Dan Wilson not been behind the plate.
ball blowing good homer wind
I know the wind was blowing out, but that ball was spanked, so it probably would have been a homer regardless. And that's good to see.
winning games yankees
You don't win 114 games by being lucky.
caught glad hit sure
We weren't sure if he caught it just before he hit or as he hit. After he hit the ground, we were glad to see him get back up.
hold might throw
We might hold him back and just have him throw on the side. But we're not there yet.
ball hit last
We hit the ball pretty decently today, but right at people. Just like last night.
hours medical people recover slept
We think he slept on it wrong, and sometimes that can take hours to recover from. At least that's what our medical people told me. Anyway, he's fine.
ball calls difficult hard learn pitches pleased receives worked
I've been very, very pleased with how he receives the ball and how he calls a game, the pitches he's called. It's difficult to learn the pitchers, but he's worked hard at it.
absolutely anybody expected forward starts thrown watching
The way he's thrown and the starts that he's had have been absolutely outstanding. He has been better than we really expected him to be. Like anybody else, when he's on the mound, I look forward to watching him pitch.
eddie pitches spring threw
Eddie threw more pitches in that inning than he did all spring training.
