I don't have to sell Rocket on playing in New York. He's had success here and he enjoyed his time here. |
I don't know how many balls he's hit down the first-base line, ... I don't know when the last time was. |
I don't know if there's anyone in baseball looking for a 3-2 slider in that situation. |
I don't know if this is the most satisfying — they're all satisfying. But, this has definitely been the most difficult. |
I don't know if we would have gotten him anyway. |
I don't know, why shoot for second place? We're still in the race for the AL East and that's what our approach is, winning the division. You talk about us getting to the playoffs, but we're in the playoffs now. |
I don't need to sell Rocket on coming here. He knows what it's like. He enjoyed his time here. |
I don't see way you shoot for second place. We're still in a race for the AL East. We're trying to win the division. You never go in thinking you want to finish second. |
I don't see why you would shoot for second place. We're still in a race for the A.L. East, so that's what our approach is. We're trying to win the division. You don't ever go into anything saying you want to finish second. |
I don't think he's done pitching. That has nothing to do with any conversation I had with him. He loves to compete, and he pitched well. |
I enjoyed it. I would recommend it to anyone who had the chance to play. It was a good experience besides the results. |
I feel good about being part of this first tournament. It's an honor to be chosen. There's a lot of players they could have chosen from. As I said before, this is important to me. I've never played in international competition. It feels good to represent your country, [to] be a member of this team. |
I guess I was due then. Every time is a different situation. Those are big ... you've got to find ways to come through. Those are situations you have to come through because two-out hits are pretty clutch. |
I guess that was a big home run for us, huh? I'll have to find that game (Mexico-Canada) on some satellite somewhere. No, I don't think I'll be at the game. |
I have the greatest job in the world. Only one person can have it. You have shortstops on other teams-I'm not knocking other teams-but there's only one shortstop on the Yankees. |
