I'm 4-0 against Boston and 0-1 against Tampa. It kind of makes you scratch your head. |
I'm comfortable with all my pitches. I'm throwing strikes and that's the bottom line. My mechanics are the biggest thing and I feel like I'm able to hit my spots now. |
I'm glad it wasn't rained out. I had warmed up, and warmed up good. |
I'm here if they need me, |
I'm here to win. No doubt, it's been a disappointing year, but I know what I'm capable of doing. I think the game that I pitched today was coming. |
I'm increasingly more comfortable this year because everything is where it needs to be right now as opposed to last year. Overall I feel good. I'm excited about where I'm at right now. Hopefully everything will go well and smooth for the team, but that's not always the case. |
I'm just getting treatment right now. I'm just trying to get healthy - or healthier, I should say. |
I'm looking forward to redeeming myself in my next start against Toronto. |
I'm still doing my thing at 41, I don't care what anyone tells me. It's mentally exhausting to be that focused every pitch now. It was easier at an earlier age ... It's the ingredient I've missed more than anything else. |
I'm throwing everything that I throw right now. The more I throw it, the more effective it will be. I feel like I'm in pretty good shape. |
I've been at this a long time, and it's time to sort of step back. I've been doing this for 34 years. When you're looking at the watch to see what time to end practice, that's pretty much an indication that it's time to sort of kick back. |
I've been known to do that before. |
I've never turned the ball down. |
I've pitched some good games this year where I haven't been that animated, that locked in, |
I've pitched some pretty meaningful games, and some games where if we lose, we're done, ... That wasn't the case, but it would have been more difficult. We're three games back right now. It's not insurmountable. |
