I wouldn't say that, ... You're aware that you need to pitch well to win, but sometimes that can bring out the best in you. I've always enjoyed pitching in big games when the pressure is on. Maybe it's helped me a bit. |
I'll be able to get to 100 (pitches) easily. Missing the one start didn't affect me at all. |
I'm happy here. It's tough to beat Southern California. |
I'm happy it didn't last too long. I'll be able to get stretched out and have 100 pitches going into the season. |
I'm not concerned about it at all. [The trainers] did a number of tests to be sure my strength was there. |
If there wasn't bad blood before, there is now. That's for sure. |
If there wasn't, there is now. |
It hasn't been a season where we can pitch OK to win; we have to pitch well to win, ... We know the potential of this offense. We have a lot of great players who can swing the bats. Some guys haven't had the years they thought they would have, but sometimes you run into some bad luck too. |
It is a huge positive. Most of this year we've needed really good starting pitching to win. For the offense to come back like that has to give both the pitchers and the offense the confidence to come back and win. |
It is definitely good. It is never a bad thing to have too much pitching. We're glad to have him; he has great stuff. |
It is nice for them to show the confidence in me. It's nice the organization feels confident in me to sign me to a long-term deal. |
It's another quality arm that we're getting in here. You never can have too much pitching. |
It's definitely nice that they have the confidence in you to give you a long-term deal. |
Jason has a history of being out on the plate and keeping his elbow guard on the plate. I told him to move it back and he came after me. I was surprised, but I'm cool with that. |
Jason has had a history of leaning out over the plate, trying to get hit. He stuck his elbow guard out over the plate and I told him not to. He had a problem with it, and he came out and got me. He has a right to do that, and I'm totally cool with it. |
