I didn't want to come back to Colorado last summer and basically audition for other teams and blow out of town as soon as I was a free agent. I wanted to come back, pitch well and have those guys want me to be back. |
I've never had something jump on me like this. |
It was obviously what we were looking for out of the bullpen. I don't know if anybody's talked about it, but it was kind of what we were expecting to do. |
It was probably more of an emotional win. When you talk to some of these young guys and you see where their heads are, they're looking the right way, they're talking the right way and they battle until the bitter end. To be back at home pitching and get a win on Opening Day with family and friends here, it's special. |
We'll see what happens, but I'm very encouraged. |
