I see opportunity here. I want to stay here. |
I see what lies ahead, ... It's win or go home. |
I still made pitches when I had to. |
I stunk. I got behind in the count early all night long and made it hard for myself. I didn't make the pitches when I had to. |
I take all the confidence in the world knowing that I did get out of those jams. |
I think everybody understands that we have to win every day. The more pressure we can put on them, obviously the less pressure there is on us. |
I think getting out of there, ... and having an opportunity to pitch every day in a decent pitching environment, it helps. I'm not going to lie. |
I thought I pitched decent, not great. It's tough to come back against a team like that, with their pitching staff. |
I threw strikes and was able to go late in the game. And the defense was outstanding. |
I tried to go back in there with my two-seamer, and it seemed like he was waiting for it, ... He made me pay for it. |
I was able to throw everything for strikes, |
I was able to throw everything for strikes, ... I was able to make pitches when I needed to. It was a good day. |
I was behind all night, ... Usually I can throw my breaking ball for strikes, but tonight I couldn't. |
I was sort of just floating around. You're disappointed, but at the same time you understand the situation. I just wanted to pitch. |
I went through some tough times as the closer last year in Colorado, booed off the field some games, and that's at home, where I grew up, in front of family and friends. I came over here, with a chance to be in a playoff race, something I've never been a part of, and I'm thinking, what have I got to lose? |
