I don't know about other guys, ... All I'm concerned with is this guy -- our closer. And this ain't going to leave a scar on him . |
I faced him a number of times when he was in Boston, so I know he's a great pitcher and I knew he was going to be tough. He had it going tonight, also. |
I feel good with all my pitches. I'm throwing strikes, and I feel comfortable. I'm ready to go now. |
I feel I'm a better pitcher right now than ever before. I'm using my changeup more and that's helping and I'm just getting smarter and not worrying much about velocity. |
I feel like I'm a little bit better pitcher than I've ever been before, ... I'm using my changeup a lot more, and that's helping me. I'm getting a little smarter and putting the ball in a good spot and not worrying so much about velocity. |
I felt all right, not great, ... They battled me pretty hard. I felt like I was getting ahead of them for the most part. I just couldn't put guys away. It seemed like I was in trouble every inning as far as baserunners and stuff like that. |
I felt good going out there. I was just terrible. I never got in a rhythm, a real good rhythm at all throughout the six innings that I threw. |
I felt good, real good. I wanted to make sure I was throwing with intensity. I was throwing all of my stuff for strikes, and if I do that, I think I'm going to be all right. |
I felt good. I stayed within myself. 'Bigg' hit the big home run. |
I found my change-up again last year, ... I didn't have it for probably my last six or seven years in New York. I didn't have a good change-up that I was using the course of a game. It was nice to be able to find that pitch last year while being hurt. |
I guess I won't do it, because they'd probably have a nervous breakdown if I do it Monday. That's just what I've done for two years here on the days I've started. |
I hate it. I wish I could have seen him play in his heyday. He's worked so hard. We had high hopes for him to make it. He's going to try to get it taken care of and see where it goes from there. It's a loss for us, a big loss. |
I hope they haven't figured anything out, and I just hope I can continue to make good pitches, quality pitches, against them because they are tough to face up and down the lineup. |
I know I feed off Roger, and I'm sure other guys do, too. It's a different role for me. I was just a kid the first time I got to the Series in New York. This is a much different experience for me. |
I know I've done it before, you know, ... I know it's shocking. It shocked me, I can promise you that. I mean I'm just terrible. I hit so bad I was like, 'I need a miracle at the plate.' I told [Craig] Biggio, too, and Biggio said, 'You got to believe.' |
