I didn't want to pitch in this game. I wasn't expecting to. I felt a little emotion because Taylor had thrown such a great game and I wanted to make sure I left everything out there against Bay tonight. Fortunately I was able to get him. |
I don't really feel I ended on a bad note. They got a run and that was the game. Put it this way: I'm real happy with the year I had. |
I don't want anybody feeling sorry for me, ... It is what it is. |
I don't want anybody to feel sorry for me, and nobody is, |
I don't want to fall behind 3-1 and have a chance of him getting on base, |
I don't want to fall behind 3-1 and have a chance of him getting on base. I wanted to throw him a strike. It probably got too much of the plate. Obviously, it did. My thinking is, he's not a home run hitter, and I don't want him to be on the bases where he's a threat. |
I haven't seen the replay, ... Obviously, it got a lot of the plate. But that's what I was trying to do. I was trying to throw a fastball over the plate because I know he isn't a home run hitter in the regular season. He hit zero, right? |
I just can't wait to get back, ... I'm going to be so pumped up to get out there in the World Series. It's going to be amazing. |

I just didn't want to fall behind, 3-and-1, ... and take a chance of him getting on base. So I just wanted to throw a strike. |
I know a lot of people want to think it did, ... but it just didn't. |
I need to get that in a better area. If I'm getting guys out doing that, then that's what I need to do. If I'm still not getting guys out, if I'm still not pitching as well as I want to, then maybe I need to work on the other pitches. |
I think everybody on our team can smell it, |
I think everybody on our team can smell it. We know how close we are, but at the same time, we know we've got to finish really strong. We have to win two games. I know we can do it, everybody knows we can do it. |
I think that's going to help the location of my pitches. At the end of the season, is it going to make my numbers better? I don't know, but I feel more comfortable doing it. |
