He is able to lock in during those moments. He has been in such a good place all year with the at-bat quality,”Even when he has hit a little speed bump, he is patient, knows what he is looking for. He has a good plan. You are seeing the power. It was a big-time at-bat right there.”

Following Trent Grisham hitting go ahead home run for New York against Houston in bottom of 8th inning helping New York the team that wears the pinstripes top Houston 5-4 Saturday in Bronx New York Aaron Boone had this to say about reliever David Bednar about starting Luis Gil!

I can’t throw Bednar any deeper into a fire.He gets ahead of Walker there and ends up losing him. He doesn’t even flinch and then [gets the strikeouts] and then has the one-two-three ninth, He found some rhythm. He flirted with a few three-ball counts but for the most part was able to win those,”I thought he had a presence with everything. His fastball, changeup and slider were all important pitches for him today. That was good to see and a big effort by him.”

Grisham has a feeling that the Yankees are getting close to being one of the hottest teams in the Major Leagues. Why does he feel that way?

“I believe everybody in this room believes in the guys next to him. This is a very talented team,” Grisham said. “If we get hot at the right time, the guys we have in this room and what we can do are pretty obvious.”
