Joe Torre
Years ago, you never concerned yourself with pitch counts. Now, with statistics telling you that between this number and that number bad things happen to this particular pitcher, you have to pay attention to it. The bullpen has become a huge part of what happens now.

Joe Torre
As a member of a competitive team, you want to make sure you have yourself ready to play. You don't control anything but what you do.
Joe Torre
I played for 18 years, but the only thing that meant anything to me was the World Series.
Joe Torre
You look at a guy who's being brave. He's afraid, or he wouldn't be brave. If he isn't afraid, he's stupid.
Joe Torre
I know in the heat of battle, it's hard not to get angry, especially in the 19th inning.
Joe Torre
We've got to decide, how much replay do we want? Because if you start doing it from the first inning to the ninth inning, you may have to time the game with a calendar.
Joe Torre
It's my job that if somebody wants to have a discussion about something, I'm certainly sensitive to that, and I'm willing to do it.
Joe Torre
I am deeply saddened and shocked at the loss of umpire Wally Bell.
Joe Torre
There will be a time when everyone on the team is going to contribute to winning a pennant.
