[At the time it sounded like just another pop-off by a player who was about to be run out of New York.] I still trust in my abilities, ... and if the Yankees trade me, they'll regret it. |
Being with four other guys who are great pitchers I think is only going to help, and when you are around great pitchers and a winning atmosphere everything is contagious. |
Everybody out there did a great job. It seemed like they weren't in trouble at all. They made their pitches. That was big for us. |
I don't like it. But what can I do? I want to pitch every fifth day and they know that, but it's not my call. I'm not the manager. |
I don't think that right now you can say this team is going to be the favorite or this other team is going to be a favorite. A bunch of teams have great national teams. Obviously, the United States has a great team, and that's not secret, but I think we have a great team also. |
I felt good. I got in a few jams, but the defense played well and kept me out of it. |
I had an up and down year with Arizona, but the most important thing is I got my confidence back. I think I have improved from where I was. My numbers were not great, but I think I improved. Hopefully, this year I have a better year. |
I just battled out there. The balls just found the holes. I just felt like I was in trouble all night. |
I just felt better overall, my body and my arm felt better. My fastball was pretty good today. I was locating both sides of the plate with all my pitches. |
I just felt better overall. My body, my arm felt better. It was special hearing the home crowd and throwing my first good game here. The last time, I stunk a little bit. |
I mean, what can you do? It kind of stinks that was the first hit. ... That's part of the game. |
I want what they had last year. |
I wanted to pitch. I thought I could pitch. The doctor said because I've lost a lot of fluids the past few days I was still going to be weak today, but I feel all right today. |
I was aware of it. But I'm not thinking about it. It's too tough to throw a no-hitter. |
I was just battling out there. I thought I threw some good pitches and the balls just kept [finding] the holes. |
