I guess I haven't learned my lesson yet, that I can't control it. |
I just need to stop giving up runs. I don't need to rebound from anything. I just need to stop the other team from scoring. |
I need to start getting some people out and helping this team. |
I think I threw more strikes than I got credit for. I was around the zone a lot. I definitely got my work in. |
I think just being who I am and the way I have always looked at things and the way I got to the big leagues, always trying to prove myself ... now it's a part of me and the only way I know how to go about my business. |
I thought I located my fastball pretty well. I made some mistakes, but for the most part I think I did pretty well. If I can throw like I did today, then why can't I do it in a week? We'll find out down the stretch. |
I will never . . . vote for a guy who doesn't play on both sides of the field, |
I'm just trying to out think myself, I think. Then, when you do fall behind and you're not locating the ball well enough, it's always good news for the hitters. I'm frustrated right now. |
If he was Superman, ... he'd play defense. |
It just got bad. The tough part is I gave up a four-run lead. It was just a poor turnaround and bad effort on my part. |
It looks like a halfway decent line but the fact that I made four mistakes and they jumped all over them for extra-base hits, it's just not acceptable. Those home runs were not acceptable, bad pitches in great counts for me. |
It shows consistency, so I'm happy with that. |
It wasn't a bad pitch at all. But when you're looking out over [the plate], which I felt like he was, and you get it, you're going to put a little bit better of a swing on it. He's a good hitter. If I get it two, three inches down, maybe he doesn't do it. |
It's a big number for a lot of starting pitchers, ... No. 1, it means that you've made all your starts. Second, it shows that you're able to pitch late into games. |
It's all about winning with me, ... I want to go out there and win. I realize I'm throwing the ball pretty well and I'm strong at the end of the year. But when the season's over and I sit on my couch I'll look back and if things finish out like they are, I'll feel pretty good about myself. But I can't sit and look at it now because the wins aren't getting done. |
