I know I achieved a lot, and I know I have my little share of respect, but when you talk about playoffs, there is no time to be mad, there is no time to complain, there is no soreness that you can't overcome or pain, sometimes, and I hope I continue to do it. I am going to leave my heart out there for my team. |
I might not be as sharp as everybody is probably used to seeing, but I'll be out there and that's what the team needs from me right now - to stay healthy and be out there to pitch for them. |
I never expected Giles to score like that, ... We are facing a smart team. Obviously, they are on top of their game. |
I never expected Giles to take a chance on that play. We're facing a good team, a smart team. |
I only hope to honor my contract and to fulfill the expectations. We got what we wanted. The team and I are happy with everything. |
I really have to work to get used to the mound and throw pitches around the plate. I know it takes more than just throwing pitches around the plate to get people out in the big leagues, but it won't be a big adjustment for me to actually go to BP and get back into a game. |
I should be able to, ... I have to rehab my toe a little. |
I started off my year with my team and I don't mind finishing it with them. |
I think in the World Series it was easy for me to relax. I had a space to actually make mistakes. But the way we're looking right now, we're not going to last very long. |
I think there are people who don't do so well at basketball and they think, 'Let me try pitching. There are a lot of them. |
I thought I was in control. But in two pitches, I lost it. |
I took it personally, I wanted to go out and try to do it and make it as easy as possible for us to win a ballgame, ... I battled with whatever I had so I could get away with a win, not only for myself but for my team. |
I tried to hold them for as long as I could, and couldn't hold them, ... I ended up losing the game but some other day, I'll end up winning the game. |
I tried to hold them, tried to do whatever possible, but couldn't do it, |
I tried to hold them, tried to do whatever possible, couldn't do it, ... There was no one moment where I gave up on what I wanted to do. I just couldn't execute it. I'm human. There were no excuses. They just got to me. That's all. |
