00:00You mentioned Volpe, fourth youngest player to hit a Grand Slam in the World Series ever,

00:08which is a tremendous job by him.

00:09Let's just say, very excited after the New York kid and man, they were, they really laid

00:15into it.

00:16Him taking pictures with Jeter, the pictures of him at the parade, the whole deal with

00:21Volpe last night.

00:22He was very excited.

00:23Anthony, can you describe the emotion you were feeling when you drove that ball in the

00:26third, see it go out?

00:29No, I think I pretty much blacked out as soon as I saw it go over the fence, but no, we

00:35just want to keep putting pressure on them and I think everyone had confidence in everyone

00:41in the lineup that someone was going to get the big hit and we've been putting, having

00:44such good at-bats and putting such good swings on the ball that, I mean, we just felt like

00:49it was only a matter of time.

00:51Well, I'll give them this, they had good at-bats last night for the first time.

00:57There has been no good at-bats in the World Series for the Yankees until last night.

01:03And to see those three produce at the bottom of the order, I almost fell over because they've

01:10been awful.

01:11I mean, the entire lineup has been awful and those guys are just automatic outs.

01:17I couldn't believe what I saw from Austin Wells, that he hit that bomb to right center

01:23off the top of the wall that Volpe screwed up and didn't run on and got held up at third

01:29by that crappy third base coach that sent Stanton home, they should fire him.

01:34And all I know is, you know, then Wells hit one into the second deck later in the game

01:41and then Verdugo, I mean, they all produced last night and, you know, they hadn't done

01:49a thing prior to that.

01:51So it was a revelation, I'll give you that much, of all people, like this guy, who I

01:56think is, you know, talentless hitting.

02:01I just, I can't even believe he hit a grand slam in a World Series game, in an elimination

02:05game.

02:06I really can't believe he did it because he can't hit to save his ass.

02:10All year long, that guy can't hit.
