I trust my pitches, ... I trust my pitches and I trust my teammates. |
I wanted it to be out. When he caught the ball and tagged him above the waist, I think he might have been able to sneak in there. |
I wanted to be in there and face Ortiz. |
I wasn't going to let [Wells] beat me. We had a base open; that was the plan. |
I wish the time would have been different; when we didn't have to worry about Spring Training and could have been throwing already. It is what it is. It's too bad, because you always want to represent your country. I just wouldn't be ready. |
I'm feeling real good. That's a good thing. |
I'm human -- all I do is try to do my job. When I don't do it, the way it happened today, it's out of my control. He put the ball in play and it happened to find a hole. I wish I could take it back, but I can't. You move on. |
I'm not perfect, and today was tough. We should have won the game, but I didn't do my job. It was just one pitch, but there was no margin for error. |
I'm prepared to do anything that's necessary to help us win, ... even if it means pitching every day from here on out. I'm not feeling tired. I take good care of myself. I know it's not probable but I will do my best. |
I've seen it for years. That doesn't surprise me at all. |
If I have to go two, I'll go two, |
If we do our thing, just as we did tonight, we'll be all right. |
It feels real good, |
It was a fantastic finish! 'Mo' was lights-out in the ninth, ... And now we've got these crying Red Sox fans, just as it should be. Now we've just got to turn up the intensity tomorrow and push the Red Sox into a playoff with the Indians. |
It was good to be in consideration. I'd be lying if I told you I didn't want to win it. |
