It's a simple pitch to throw if you grasp the concept, |
It's all in your mind, ... It has nothing to do with how much rest you have. Concentrating on what you're doing, that's what makes you successful. |
It's exciting, no question about it, to be able to go out and be on this stage and compete with the best players there is and have a chance for the ultimate goal, and that's to win the World Series. You know, it's been fun and exciting. |
It's huge. We need Jimmy in the lineup every day to come out there and compete every day and be a big part of that offense, never mind his defensive play. It was nice to see him back in there and doing what he did today. Hopefully we can get him on track and he can start feeling better. |
It's the biggest hit I've ever seen. |
It's tough to see the guys that aren't going to be back go. But that's the business of the game and I'm sure when we get to spring training we'll be ready to go. |
It's unacceptable no matter where we are in the season. It was very out of character for me, it made me want to puke. |
My performance (today) was unacceptable and made me want to puke. |
My roommate went out after the storm and he did a little looting himself for water and food for the dog. That's the last I heard of him. I still haven't found him yet. That worries me because he would call me. |
My stuff was better than it had been in my last two (starts). It was just a strange game. I made a few mistakes but there were a lot of infield hits, a lot of broken-bat hits. It was just one of those nights. |
Obviously, it's a big number, ... But I've got five (starts) left, I think, the rest of the season. I'll start getting prepared for New York on Wednesday. |
Oh yeah. I knew. I got a little careless in the sixth with the catcher there, throwing him a bunch of breaking balls in a row. That's why it's so hard to do it. I wasn't concerned about it. I wanted to win the game, and we did. |
Shows consistency. But that's what my goal is: trying to be consistent as often as I can. I've said this (before): If you go out and be consistent and give this team a chance to win with the defense, offense and bullpen we have, we're going to win a lot of games. |
Since the time in Oakland to now he's become a different pitcher. Now he pitches. He's thinking about location. He's thinking about the count. He's thinking about working the hitter. He's not just thinking about heaving the ball as hard as he can. |
That one game I think I got us two runs because I did the little things right. And I know if you do that, you have a chance to score some runs and it might get you a win. I've worked hard at it, and I feel like I've gotten better at it. |
