Question : Being you're here in Staten Island making a rehab start before going back up to Trenton AA and even tho you didn’t win the game, what was the best thing that came out of your start yesterday?

 

Answer : I threw a lot of strikes I felt really good, obviously you want to do little better for the team in general but I'm happy with how I felt and the team had my back out there which was nice.

 

Question: What's the biggest thing  you're going to take from this start to help you for your next start whether it is here in Staten Island or at Trenton?

 

Answer: You know honestly I'm going to do the same thing, throw strikes, hope hits land because it's hard to hit the baseball and just throw strikes and put the ball in play and go from there!

Question: Sadly you guys didn’t win the game tonight but what was the most positive thing that came out of it for your players?

 

Answer : I thought we did a heck of a job batting got down early guys didn’t let them get to them guys took good AB’s guys stepped on the mound went right after hitters so to me that’s a heck of a job batting we gave our self a good opportunity that's all we can ask for.

 

 

Question : With Nick Green pitching down here for a rehab start from Trenton what is something he improved on from his last start.

 

Answer : Green’s a competitor everytime he steps on the mound he gives his best effort and I think he did that tonight. Obviosly didn’t have his best stuff but a lot of that was one inning left, a lot of balls up and couple balls got hit hard but that’s baseball. 

 

 

Question  You played for the Yankees and in the Major Leagues now your coaching these young men, What's the biggest thing coaching these young men?

 

Answer  There a couple things, one work hard, two have confidence and trust in your abilities at the end of the day that's all you can really do If you play the game the right way play the game hard  good things happen to most people.

 

Question  With Tim Harady coming to the game he hasn’t pitched all series were you impressed with him tonight and what did you think of the walk off?

 

Answer : From Harady Standpoint I thought he did a heck of a job. His fast ball was working well had a little Giddyup to it,  was spottin' up well and his breaking ball was working well for him today and Molina in that at bat he got down early 2 strikes at that point you just got to fight, give yourself an opportunity, I think he did that.

 

Question : What was the biggest thing you or the players have learned from this series that you will take into the next series

 

Answer : I continue to say this they continue to battle and never put there heads down they think they have a chance to win and we think they have a chance to win too

Question : Let me start with yesterday you had a huge day at the plate and had huge win, you were down a game in the series what's the biggest thing for you indivually and as a team that helped you in that series ?

 

Answer : I think it's one in the same, I mean all we can focus on is that next at bat, the next pitch, just doing your job the best you can.  We've been very fortunate everyone is strong willed and level headed, we're never really down on ourselves, we pick each other up and you realize it's a really long season and series... best thing you can do  keep going.

 

Question : With the walk off tonight, the fans loved it, you look like when you come together as a team nothing can stop you guys... what's the biggest thing that helped you guys tonight?

 

Answer : The biggest thing is to pick up the guys around you and realize everyone's got ups and downs, one guy not doing so hot another guy can pick up the slack and you can tell the guy who didn’t make it happen offensively you got a job to do so just remember a guy a job he has to do.

 

Question : Your Manager David Adams played at University of Virginia and you played at George Washington how cool is it to have someone who played college baseball in the same state as you now showing you the Yankee Way.

 

Answer : It's very cool and it’s a small world you know the circle keeps getting tighter, the more people as you go further up realize and recognize you  from around so it's very cool to have a guy from Virginia show you the way.

Question : With you guys winning two out of 3 games in the series  with the win last night and the walk off tonight...talking to coach you guys been cheering each other on like family...what's the biggest thing you think helped you guys win?

 

Answer : Were not backing down as a team it's kind of like you punch one of us you punch all of us you got to knock us all down to get a win so it's nice and I couldn't do it without all the other guys on the team like the three plays they had, they came up big for us if I wasn’t them I wouldn’t be having success
