He executed about three or four different pitches and throws them where he wants to throw them. I don't think that's going to be any different against us. |
He stepped it up a notch at the end. He took it to another level. |
He's got every pitch. And he executes every pitch he's got. |
He's on top of his game, that's for sure. Some guys never get to that point, but you have to be hopeful. It was a good thing to watch. |
I don't remember many games like the last two games when I played here. Runs aren't being scored here. |
I guess to say that after what happened, to split the series is a positive. |
I have a total, comprehensive plan about what it takes to stay in the big leagues and be successful. I don't know if it's anything revolutionary, but it's worked for me. I'm willing to share it with anyone who wants to listen. It's not a secret. A lot of people helped me when I was a young guy and I'm willing to help these young guys. |

I took that first strike and then he turned it up a notch. He brought that little cutter or slider or whatever it is, and it just ran in on me more than I anticipated. I thought I had a decent swing. |
I've been battling lately. Today I was just trying to really stay on the ball a little bit more. It was a high fastball and I got under it and put a good swing and hit it really good. |
Is it frustrating? Of course it is. The last thing you want to do is start the year off like this. I'm confident we're going to win -- sooner or later, hopefully sooner. |
It seems like teams that have good chemistry, well, that's because they kicked everybody else's butts all year, so everybody's happy and gets along. |
It's been going like that for a while, pretty much since Day 1. |
It's been going like this for a while -- pretty much since Day 1. We just need to keep showing up and execute better than we are. |
Man, it's been like that since day one. There's all kinds of strange stuff going on. |
