I need to get people out. I need to be out there. I need to have them swinging at my pitches. Right now, everything they swing at, they're hitting pretty good. We'll get it worked out. But it's not very good right now. |
I probably don't throw as hard as I once did. But then again I don't have to. I used to check the gun every pitch to see where I was. That was pretty much it: how hard I could throw it. |
I stink right now. You get booed when you do bad in my job. You're either the hero or the goat every day. ... I've been the goat pretty good for awhile here. |
I think I have my mechanics back in order. Things are going in the right direction. It doesn't look like it totally, but to me, they are. |
I want to get in there as much as I can right now. I need to get people out; I need to throw pitches to people. I need to see how they're swinging at my pitches, and right now everything they're swinging at, they're hitting it pretty good. |
I wasn't trying to strike everybody out, |
If it's a one-run game, you pitch totally different. |
It is weird how we're back in the same position we were last year, but that's what makes it so much fun. |
It was fun to get out there again. When things are going bad, it seems like it snowballs, but things will be fine. |
It's a totally different club when you have a Chris Carpenter and a Mark Mulder in the starting rotation. |
It's beautiful. It's great. They've got the sea of red, which is going to be there all year for us, and we were able to get a win out of it. That's our main goal, no matter what. |
It's been a long week. |
It's great to be part if this. To get a milestone for him like that, that's amazing. |
It's just about making pitches and I can't right now. I'm not making pitches. It's just something I have to get through, and keep working on, and keep doing in between games. It's just something I never went through before. That's why the game is so great. We just have to keep going. As of right now, it's just not going very well. |
It's just things like that, and they're really not taking any bad swings at anything I throw up there. I'm sure people are saying I don't have anything left in the tank. Whatever. I know I still have good enough stuff to get people out. |
