I think he feels good about what he did. When you put in the hard work and see the benefit and the rewards, it's gratifying for him. Hopefully he'll get on that run that we expect him to get on.
More Quotes from John Flaherty:
Obviously, he didn't have a knuckleball like Wake has. This is the best that we've seen in this era and it's one of those things that you really can't prepare for. You try to talk to as many people who have caught him and see if they've done anything that has helped them.John Flaherty
With every pitcher, if you call a pitch you know where he's going to miss if it's not right so you prepare for it. With Wake, I don't think you have that luxury. If he throws a knuckleball, you just don't know where it's going to go.

You can place blame any where you want to. You can maybe say that Randy went a little too far. There's probably some truth to that, but I was surprised that Fieldin threw him out as quickly as he did knowing the kind of umpire that he is. He's a very good umpire. I don't know if Randy stepped over the line. I didn't necessarily think he did.

The four million fans who filled Yankee Stadium this season made an awful lot of noise, but none of that will reach the Yankees in Boston. It's not a deterrent, ... There's nothing like playing here, like having the last at-bat. But we feel good about ourselves, home or on the road.

You'd think you were taking good swings off him, but his ball had a little extra life on it, and you'd foul it off. He steps up on the big stage, and he did it today.

He's a very detail-oriented guy. For this job, he's got a great combination of old-school work ethic - knowing how to put the time in - and the new generation that uses computers and video to get as much information as possible.
