I just felt deep down that we were going to find a way to get it done. |
I just felt in my heart and soul that was it for Randy. |
I just hope he earns it a little more tonight, |
I just like the fact that we swung the bats. We haven't done that very well against this club. |
I just like the way we feel right now. |
I just sense he's a little more comfortable overall. |
I just think he pulled the trigger too quickly. I don't want him not to show emotion. |
I just want to see sharpness. I'm pretty confident that physically he's fine. |
I just wanted to find out if he still trusts me with this team. |
I just wanted to pretty much clear the air on everything that was part of my unhappiness or anger or whatever you want to call it, frustration. I guess you can put all those things under the same heading, ... I just wanted to pretty much, for my own satisfaction, to find out if he still trusts me with his team. |
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. |
I knew very little about Shawn when he got here. But in all my time here, I've never seen any player more calm and cool after putting on the pinstripes. Being in New York City, playing for the Yankees, pitching at Yankee Stadium - none of it seemed to rattle him one bit. |
I know I alluded to it with my players at one time or another, ... I said, with everything we went through, if it was May or June, you'd have given your right arm to be in the position we are right now. Yeah, we're not in first place, but where we were then, and where we were going, if you knew the last 20 games of the season you're fighting not only for a wild card but for a pennant, you'd be tickled to death. |
I know in the Latin American countries, when it came time for winter ball, they expect you to play. So I imagine this is at least as much pressure on them as that. |
I know one thing, Bernie is seizing the moment. He's having some quality at-bats and he seems to be in a great frame of mind. There's no question it's going to be an emotional time when that's the case, when he's not here anymore. |
