"To me, it's a situation," Gregg said. "Ortiz, the place to get him out is in. You have to pitch him in. The first pitch wasn't too far off the corner, and he jumped away like it was at his head. Next pitch was a little bit further in. He didn't like it, he stared at me. I'm still going to go in there to try and pitch in there and because I'm not going to let him lean over the plate like he did to [Brad Bergesen] and hit a line-drive ball back up the middle, or he's hitting stuff off the wall. He's real comfortable in there."

Gregg said he was frustrated that Ortiz didn't run to first base after hitting a lazy fly ball to center with a seven-run lead.

"They are going to whine and complain about it because they think they are better than everybody else," Gregg said. "But no, we have just as much right to pitch inside as they do. Everybody's frustrated. It's part of the game."


this guy would be the enforcer for this team, so CC doesnt have to do it each time

He is the lefty that the Yanks should have gotten years ago. Guy understands you gotta brush Ortiz who hugs the damn plate.

You're right. I stand corrected. I still liked Gregg and would have liked him in the pen when he was a FA.
