I thought the count was the difference. He had to throw a strike. Mike will go back out there tonight in that same situation. Hopefully, with better results.

He's been a life saver for us, a leader of this ball club. He's been as consistent as they come.Joe Torre
I don't disagree with that. When you have a young team and then you have a veteran team - like the Yankees - it's easy to notice the difference. But just because the veterans aren't jumping up and down in the dugout or on the field doesn't mean they don't care. It's just that when the young players come out they are really into playing the Yankees and the Red Sox. They want to show they are worthy. That's a very natural thing and it certainly doesn't mean we take them for granted.

He didn't seem to have any indecision defensively, even though he threw to the wrong base a couple of times. All he needs to do at first base is a little more preparation on the balls (when it's) me in this situation and this is what I'm going to do with it. All that is, is conditioning.

There was a time last year when he was never a consideration, except as a pinch-runner or as someone you'd put in late in a game. But after Donnie worked with him, I saw a different hitter. He once was a dead pull hitter -- hit the ball in the air and swing and miss. Donnie got him waiting on the ball. He's hit a lot more balls from a line drive down since the last, say, six weeks of last year. He's a much better player now.
