'Let the bodies hit the floor,' something like that. I think the fans were more worried about my entrance song than I was. They can send in suggestions if they have some. |
Every time I go out there, I try not to fear anybody. I always want to earn the respect of my teammates, and maybe I did that, but it feels good to hear you have guys who want you on the team. |
For me, man, it was disappointing to see him go, but at the same time, I wish him all the best in what he does. I know he'll be successful in what he does. |
He's an incredible, incredible hitter. He doesn't get any panic. He doesn't get tight. He's just money, man. |
He's my idol. Growing up, I watched him pitch. Those are big, big shoes to fill. I know I have a long road ahead and a lot of work ahead of me to get where he's at. |
Hey, I let my team down tonight. I'll be back out there and I'll pick us up another night. It's a learning experience right now, and hopefully, I can make that learning curve short. |
I didn't think he caught it. I was looking at the umpire the whole time and he called him out. Thank you. He owns me right now. |
I do tend to look at hitters, the way they swing at previous pitches and use that to my advantage. I just want to go out there and start attacking hitters and not necessarily give them the ability to think their way through an at-bat, just be in attack mode the whole time. |
I don't know. We'll see. We'll play it by ear. |
I like the fans expecting a lot because I expect a lot of myself. It's good to have them behind you because they can carry you through innings when it gets rough. |
I set my goals high, man. If you'd have told me I'd have 10 saves and hadn't given up a run, I'd have believed you. That's the way I go about it. It's not cocky, it's just confidence. |
I think Nip is going to do a fine job. I think he's going to take over and there will be no skips, he'll just go right into it. |
I thought he pounded the strike zone well. I thought he challenged hitters and went right after them. |
I thought my whole ankle was shattered. If that ball was an inch higher on my ankle, I'm probably done for three to six months. |
I was focused on results. I went out there and tried to get the first hitter out every inning and set the tempo. |
