After the other guys did the job in relief, I was supposed to nail down the shutout for Felix after a great start. You hate to lose that zero, but we did get the win, and that's what it's all about. |
Come on over here, bro, we'll take your yen. |
Felix is one of those guys who comes along every 10 or 20 years. He's a tremendous talent -- for his age, unbelievable. And he's handled all this hype like a champ. |
He always said nobody is promised tomorrow, and he lived life to the fullest. I do that. You can't take life for granted, and Puck never did. I'm real glad I was his teammate. He taught me everything I know about how to act, how to carry yourself, on and off the field. |
He comes in here early, he works out, he goes about his business the right way. He goes about his business the rookie way — be quiet and don't talk unless you're talked to. |
He did a hell of a job. That's what happens when you have heart and guts. |
He doesn't have a strike zone. |
He helped pick out the stuff. He's been here less than a year, and that's not enough time. So he has to go through it again. |
He's doing absolutely fantastic. He's so excited back there, and I love that. |
He's good. He gets these guys off their butts. That's what I like about him. |
He's got great personality. That's the first thing you notice about him. He's a great guy. |
He's one of those guys who comes around every 20 years. |
I could have been in one, but I threw nine innings the night before. |
I didn't bear down. It would have been nice to sweep those guys but it was a bad day. It's the first time this has happened in a while. |
I didn't do my job. These types of games hurt. |
