He always messes with the lineup. The thing is, it doesn't matter if you hit 1, 2, 3 or ninth, you still have to have good at-bats. |
He can play. He has an approach, and he sticks to it. He can pretty much do it all. |
He did a great job. He just kind of teased the strike zone, throwing borderline pitches and making you chase them. It shows you that if you have good pitching, it stops good hitting. |
He doesn't know what the crowd is going to do in Boston. He does not know. |
He got into trouble early on but he pitched out. That's exactly what we needed. |
He has been big. Today was as wild as he has been, and he still found a way. He gives us an opportunity to win every time he goes out on the mound. |
He has his own feelings. You've got to understand his feelings. He's the owner of the team. He doesn't want anybody to get hurt. He's entitled to his opinion. He's the boss. He's always had his own opinion and he always will. |
He has nasty stuff. He was throwing inside and made me go to right. I guess I was due. |
He needed an oxygen tank there. It was kind of funny to watch. |
He never throws the ball straight, ... He just has nasty stuff, especially when he faces me. |
He pretty much controlled the game. |
He seems not to be bothered by anything, and that will help him here. Obviously he's a great player. But he's not going to have any trouble adjusting to New York after being in Boston. |
He threw a ball that ran inside and I kept my hands inside, and I was able to hit it to right, |
He throws a lot of strikes and he works quickly. So you can't get back on your heels behind him. That helps us out on defense. |
He was hot and it came at the right time. |
