I didn't expect Ruben to get that close to that ball.
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.
I expected to see him when I came back in here, but evidently he didn't want to be around.
That's very important. If you expect to win and go places, you have to do things like that.
One thing I'll say here. I'm not going to waste my time talking about negative things. We won a ballgame 9-8. I'm not here to start beating on people, especially the people that, if we expect to win, are going to get us there.
You can't expect to win when you give them extra outs. You hope when you make errors they won't come up and bite you.
You certainly can't expect to win when you give them extra outs. You're gonna make errors. Tonight we didn't make them at good times.

He's played on the big stage, so I don't think we're sitting here like we have in so many past years, wondering how a guy is going to handle certain things about New York. I don't have any hesitation at all what to expect there.
The day I stop expecting good things to happen when he's up in a situation like that is a day that I shouldn't be here. It's surprising when we don't score with the ability we have, but that happens.

I thought today was very significant for him. This the most pressure you could be asked to pitch under when everybody expects you to win, you get one run and pitch up to those standards.
