Derek Jeter Guys Quotations

I always appreciated the ex-players. Being a Yankee, you get spoiled. Old-Timers Day, all these guys coming back, spring training, being around them, you get a chance to get to know them. So I always think you learn a lot by listening.

Just because you've seen a guy doesn't mean you're going to get hits off him the next time. He seemed to bear down when guys got on base, and when he got ahead, he threw that split.

It all starts with pitching. This offense got so much publicity early on, but you're going to win if you pitch. We've got a lot of guys who know how to pitch.

I was pretty good at math growing up. I don't think too many guys were aware of it.

We had a lot of guys who stepped up.

We know we can't rely on scoring all those runs. We know it's great to have some guys that are swinging the bats well, and we're going to score. But it's not going to happen all season.

Another one of those sit around and figure out the scenarios. That's about all you can say. We had our chances right from the first inning. We just didn't get any hits with guys on base. I'm well aware of what it takes to win. We just didn't do it.

As of now, as a team and as an organization, we can't think about Rocket. He hasn't made up his mind. Let him decide first. We need to focus on the guys that we have now. We have a great pitching staff.

A lot of the guys are pretty accustomed to how things work here.

They've got a good team. I know their record doesn't say it, but they've got guys that are really starting to play well. They have a lot of confidence, especially against us. They have guys who know how to play.

This doesn't happen too often. We were right in the position we want to be in in the ninth inning, with Mo. Even when they got the first couple of guys on, we still like our chances. ... He made a good pitch, the guy just found a hole.

I'm just supposed to get on base for the guys behind me. Today I was happy because I drove the ball the other way.

Their record doesn't show it, but they've really got some guys who are starting to play well. The experience is going to help them. They've been playing together for a while, and they've got a lot of confidence, especially against us.

It's always weird when you're facing guys that you played with.

I assume the adrenaline will be flowing. If it's a close game and we have a chance to win the championship, it might seem like the World Series. I have no idea. I've had guys tell me the feeling is pretty special.

I assume the Adrenalin will be flowing. If it's a close game and we have a chance to win the championship, it might seem like the World Series. I have no idea. I've had guys tell me the feeling is pretty special.
