I wasn't getting the ball down. Balls were staying up in the zone a little bit. They had a good approach. They laid off on good change ups down and capitalized on mistakes. |
I worked on a change and they had some swings today that made it look like they were expecting a fastball. I'm focused on mixing all my pitches up like I'm going to do in the season. |
I'm glad the offense is doing what they were doing. In spring you encounter just about every situation you'll face during the regular season. Today it was sitting for a while. |
I'm just frustrated with the up-and-down nature of [my] April. |
I'm just trying to lock in a routine and stand firm on my mechanics. I'm focusing on mixing all my pitches up like I'm going to do in the season. |
I'm not missing a start, no way. If I was going to miss a start, it would have been yesterday. |
I'm not missing any starts, no way. I know my body. |
I'm not missing any starts. If I was going to miss a start, it would've been (Sunday). I know my body. It feels fine. There will be no controversy over this. |
I'm not missing any starts. No way. If I was going to miss a start, it would be (Sunday). Why am I so sure? Because I'm in my body and I feel it. I feel fine. There will be no controversy from this. I hope you guys squash this. I'm not happy at all that it's out there. |
I'm OK being the veteran, but I'm still just a kid. |
I'm so excited. Man, it's going to be awesome. Last year's Opening Day was a day game in Baltimore, and it didn't really have the sort of atmosphere this year will have. We'll be at home, it's the Yankees and Randy Johnson -- that's just perfect. It couldn't be any better. |
I've had good success here. I don't really have any demons (in Arlington) like other (pitchers) might. |
If we do everything correctly, we'll be right there. |
If we focus on this loss and take it to tomorrow's game, that's unproductive. Fans can look at it like that. But we can't look at it like that. We've got to focus on tomorrow and put this behind us. |
If we linger on this loss any longer than the start of tomorrow's game, ... it's counterproductive. |
