I have plenty of time to do that. |
I have to be patient and not worry about results right now. The more I pitch the better I will be. |
I haven't been here long enough to know, but you're talking about the best rivalry in sports. |
I haven't thrown to a hitter, yet. I haven't thrown a breaking ball. |
I hope he loosens up. New York is his hometown, ... Just respect his family. |
I hoped for a pop-up there. But Mike didn't wait too long. He knows me too well. |
I just can't. I'm not going to be out there probably not doing what I'm supposed to do and not helping the team the way I could help them. They're better off having somebody that's going to probably help them and give them what they need instead of me, out of shape, risking my career and their performance out there. |
I just feel that I would love to be there - my people know and they understand that my heart is with my teammates. If I can't do it, I think they would understand. |
I just guess I have to give them credit, ... For them to actually take advantage of my mistakes and hit them out - it wasn't just playing the game hard, but also to keep their concentration level so high that every time I made a mistake - they were my mistakes — that they hit them out. |
I just need to regain my command. |
I just need to regain my command. I was concerned at first that I was not going to be able to go with the team and be healthy. |
I just realized a couple of things [that] I never would think about it ... if I wasn't in this situation. How hard I hit the mound coming off. And that's not even half the effort [I would exert in a game]. It's trying to be smooth, trying to be cautious and trying to think about the things I'm doing. I can't really imagine what it would be on a good night, fully loaded and trying to get a tough hitter in a situation. |
I just try to do what I have to do and let the people out there do what they have to do, which is have fun, scream, yell and jump around. I try to do what I have to do, which is play baseball, and I can only play in that piece of area there, so that's what I try to do. |
I knew we weren't going to keep up the same offensive explosion we had the first three games, ... I expected it. |
I know he was upset. He's been hit three times in the last two days - I don't blame him. But that wasn't my intention. That stuff happens in the game. |
