“Yes, there can be. If I also pitched for the Yankees.”
Gene Weingarten
“I would rather beat the Yankees regularly than pitch a no hit game.”
Bob Feller
“He didn't really pitch deep into the game against the Yankees. He's done it before this year, and he came out in flying colors so we're confident he's going to get to a point in his game where we have some of the arms in the bullpen we're going to get to.”
Mike Scioscia
“Obviously the Yankees lineup is one of the best in the American League. But I think if we pitch the way we're able to pitch and play defense, I think we can beat them like we have in years past.”
Tim Wakefield
“When I pitched Game 5 in Yankee Stadium [in '01], I felt like I was sitting in the clubhouse for 10 hours. The game just never seemed to start. You just get anxious,”
Mark Mulder
“Our pitches got very tentative. You can't get tentative against a lineup like the Yankees. We threw ball one, ball two.”
Mike Hargrove
“I got to pitch. I just didn't have very many opportunities [for the Yankees], and a lot of opportunities in the first half were just one hitter, ... I'm not laying blame or anything like that. That's a simple fact. I got to go out there on a consistent basis and I felt like I pitched OK.”
