Before I pitch any game, from spring training to Game 7 of the World Series, I'm scared to death. |
Both of these teams went through a lot this year. To be where we are says as much about the people as it does about the talent. |
breaks well but fails in stretch. Can't recommend. |
Consistency has been the issue. My fastball command has just been [lousy], ... I can't continue to get us beat in situations where we shouldn't. |
Disliking me probably matches my dislike for him [Gomez], but I have a problem with people who don't have integrity and principle, so that stuff happens. You just kind of just let it go. |
Every mistake that I make, we're paying for, ... It's a corner you try not to back yourself into, because you tend to pitch tentative, and I can't do that. I left two balls up in the zone, splits. One was the double off the wall. Another was up. |
Everything felt good. This is the first time I've been healthy in two years, and going out there to compete with nothing on your mind but your stuff is a real different feeling for me right now. |
Everything is normal. And I guess I'm making normal seem really damn exciting right now, but after last year, normal is a really cool thing for me. |
Filthy. He's just got to bide his time. |
For the first time since April 2004, there really is no physical limit to getting ready for me. That's a big difference. |
For us to be 7-3 after 10 games when our offense isn't even close to hitting its stride is a positive thing. |
From the outset I didn't feel like I had very good command of my fastball. I threw some good splits, I thought I hung two and they got hit. But I had real spotty command of my fastball. |
Frustration, |
Getting kicked around as much as I did, you get tired of it. I'm not trying to hit people. But at the same time, hitters were very comfortable facing me last year, much more so last year than any year in the past, obviously. But there's something you can do about that as a pitcher, and you've got to be proactive in doing it. I feel like my command is good enough that I can throw the ball in off the plate and get people off the plate without hurting people. |
