Joe Torre Felt Quotations

I felt there was a lot of love in my house. And my mom was, you know, the basis of all that.

May 6, I wasn't really concerned, because there was a long way to go. The only concern we had was playing up to our capabilities, because we felt the wins would come.

He felt his back a little bit, but that's an ongoing situation. He's got some physical things to deal with.

He felt something. I don't think it's going to keep him out for long.

We just felt that Jason probably needed the most rest of all the guys.

I told him already that it's June. I think he felt relaxed hearing that.

It just looked like it was more effort for him in the seventh inning. I just felt in my heart and soul that was it for him.

It's not an easy decision, obviously. But Heredia shouldn't be on the mound for me if I don't have confidence to do something like that. It's not an easy decision to make, but it was one I felt I had to and then just live with the results.

It was a decision I felt I had to make. Certainly, it wasn't popular, and the last thing I wanted to do was go get him. He left a couple pitches up . . .

I just felt deep down that we were going to find a way to get it done.

I didn't know if we were going to get one or two. I felt they were able to at least knock it down, but both of them were off their feet.

He took part in more than I thought he would take part in. I wouldn't let him do the cutoffs and relays, and I was surprised he did the running. It was basically up to him and how good he felt -- so evidently, he felt fine.

I feel better about him this year than I did last year. Knowing that he never felt like everything was there, just with what he's volunteering this year and the way he's moving around, I sense he's feeling a lot better about himself, physically.
