They did a great job of making me throw some pitches early. After they scored their first two runs, I just wanted to keep it close and not turn into a five- or six-run inning. |
They're going to be in it regardless of how many people get hurt. Bobby Cox is always going to have those guys ready to play. |
This is the flip side of me throwing eight innings and losing 1-0 (two starts ago). That's how baseball is. |
Warren Spahn was one of those players before my time, but I knew a little history about him, |
We are definitely a few but a proud few and we take a lot of pride in going out theere and competing. |
We definitely are a few but a proud few, ... It's historic. It's a beautiful thing, not only for baseball, but for my team. Hopefully we'll just keep going. |
We definitely are few, but we're a proud few, ... Everybody's been rooting for me since I was 15. It's a camaraderie, not just pitchers but African American players in general. |
We seem to have done anything and everything to let a team back in the game, including myself. |
We should win it, most definitely. Every team should feel they have a chance to win, or they shouldn't come out. I don't want to be around guys who don't want to win. We're all in it because we want to win. |
We're definitely upset about this game. It was a tough loss. But I should have done better. I should have thrown more strikes and put them on their heels and I didn't. |
We're professionals, we'll come back, ... We don't have enough time [to worry]. Nobody is going to feel sorry for us, to mope around. You think about what you did better today and come back tomorrow. We don't have a lot of time. This is it. We're definitely going to throw our backs to the wall and do it. |
We're still in this race. That's all I care about, ... We have to win out, and it started today. |
We're tired of mistakes, too. We're beating ourselves up and nothing anybody can say can be any harsher than what we are telling ourselves. |
Whatever it takes. I'm a guy that loves the game of baseball, period, ... All aspects. I take pride in all aspects of the game - defensively, pitching, whatever it takes to be successful, that's what I take pride in. |
When I got the call telling me I had won, I was definitely floored and honored. |
