Joe Torre Looked Quotations

He kept the ball off the fat of the bat really well. He lived up to his scouting report. But it comes down to being able to do what you want to do, and it looked like he was able to do that.

The most enjoyment I had was doing it in the second inning after the first inning. They came back with two runs, and what looked nice at 5-0 was all of a sudden 5-2. I like the fact that we're swinging the bats, because we haven't done that very well against this club.

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 looked like Randy was saying, 'Yeah, changing of the guard, but I'm not done yet.

It looked like he had a pretty good jump on the ball. It just kept going.

It looked like he had an easy time, so it doesn't surprise me. He looked very fluid, he didn't force anything and he threw a lot of strikes. He was competitive, and that was the question I had.

He's really responded about like Jeter did 10 years ago. When Derek would make an error or make a play on the base paths which wasn't the right play, it never really affected him ... It looked like a breaking ball away from him and he went out and got it and was able to rake it over the fence. That was huge.

I didn't know what to expect going in. But nothing gets by these fans. Bernie didn't know whether to take a bow (in the eighth inning). He looked over at me and I gave him a nod.

The first inning he came in, he was fine. He was very aggressive. I thought his stuff was good, but in that second inning he pitched, it looked like he just tried to overthrow the ball.

The first four innings were really good, then it looked like he was elevating the ball a little. That's where they hurt him.
