I stunk it up. I feel bad for Glav, I feel bad for the team. It's over. There's nothing I can do about it now. |
I tried to deal with it the best I could, ... As the season went on, it just became progressively worse and worse. I knew all year I was going to have to get it taken care of. It's at that point now. |
I was upset then. I was pretty naive. The Cardinals drafted me, and I envisioned playing my whole career there. I didn't know how long I would be in Florida. |
I'm not as good as I'll be in a month. I'll definitely be better. The only thing that gets you better is getting into games. Every time out there I feel it's better, better, better. |
If Mariano Rivera was closing for the Mets, and they'd want me to set up, I'd set up, ... It's something I'd definitely be willing to talk about with Omar as long as they treated me the way I wanted to be treated. |
It has been something I've been dealing with all year, ... It just got to the point where I've got to get it looked at and fixed. |
It helped me just being in the game and it being not Spring Training. You're concentrating more, focused on what you're doing. I felt good, kept the ball down, which is what I want to do. |
It just seems like no matter what I do, it goes wrong, ... Willie talked to me, and said he's going to mix and match, to give me an opportunity to step back and gather myself. I need to pitch better. |
It would be hard to say no, ... But it's definitely not what I prefer. |
It would be hard to say no. But it's definitely not what I prefer. |
It's just a more relaxed feeling. You can work hard and do your job, and you don't have the feeling that one bad outing could cost you your job. |
Just didn't get it put away. No excuse. It should have been over right there. |
Last season was a lot more about dealing with physical things. Now it's just getting back where I used to be and repeating my delivery. Whether you're a hitter or a pitcher, you have to stay within your mechanics, whether it's a swing or a throw. I've got to complete my delivery every time. |
My first six years in the league I pitched more than anybody ever had. I like pitching a lot. Can I pitch seven days in a row? No. I can't pitch seven days in a row. But I like pitching more frequently than not frequently. |
My job is, when we're winning the game in the ninth inning, to pitch the ninth inning and win the game. When we don't, it's my fault. Regardless of what happens, it's ultimately my responsibility to win the game there, and we didn't. |
