That surprised me to a certain extent. I think this guy is a pretty good player. |
That thought doesn't even enter my mind. My thought is Wednesday - let's go, let's roll. |
That was really good to see that out of Seth. He was really outstanding. The other guy topped us. |
That's a big league save right there. |
That's a team you have to get on top of. They will take pitches, they will work the counts and they're all good hitters. |
That's all I can go on. |
That's part of how this team's going to be set up. How often he can play and how often he needs a day off can impact a decision. |
That's really unusual. 47. Wow! That's slower than a BP pitcher. |
That's the premise, play the game right and you have a better chance to succeed. |
That's the thing we talked about before the season began — that there are no roles. It's an amorphous bullpen. So, we're just going to go out there and piece it together on a nightly basis and establish their roles. |
That's what I've noticed more than anything. Physically, they're all the same cats. But their minds have been working pretty well. ... It's just been a good solid mental approach by our hitters. There's been no giveaway at-bats. |
That's what we're looking for. Even a small deficit with our team, that's what I'm looking to keep. Because I know we can score runs. I've already addressed the bullpen about that, coming into the season. When you get out there and we're down one, two or three, just keep it there, because we can get one, two or three. And that's going to happen this year. We have to really work to keep a small deficit, obviously. |
The biggest thing not to do is make snap decisions based on what guys do in spring training. |
The home run to Jeter was a badly located pitch. But otherwise, he threw the ball fine. He threw a lot of pitches, but [the Yankees] will do that to you. |
The last several years it crossed my mind with him. He's on the level with a Barry Bonds as far as his hitting ability. He's just so hard to pitch to. There really are no holes. He covers everything. We're just going to keep trying. We play them 19 games. We've got to try something. |
