I would pitch like this all year. If this all I am going to feel, you can forget about it. |
I would say [the media can relax about the shoe] so we can just get ready. There's going to be a little this and that any time you take the mound. Sometimes you go there and my shoulder's hanging or my elbow's sore. I'm going to try to pitch regardless. |
I wouldn't be surprised if that happens, but without a doubt, mine were not intentional. None of them. I didn't have in my mind to come out and get myself in trouble like that. I'm sure if I'm OK, I'm able to beat anybody without hitting anybody. |
I'll find it eventually. I do things differently. I play with myself up there and eventually I'll find it. The last two innings I had it. |
I'll take you out to dinner. |
I'm a professional. I feel I have a responsibility when I go out there because those guys pay my salary. |
I'm a U.S. citizen, but I can always say that I was born in the Dominican. |
I'm currently out of shape; my arm is not strong enough, and I still have to work really hard. |
I'm human. No excuses. Hey, they got to me. That's all. |
I'm not expecting it to be. |
I'm not looking at velocity. I was very pleased with my command today, especially with the fastball. |
I'm not quite as comfortable yet, but we're finding the right track. I'm trying to act normal, I'm just not on the mound. |
I'm not ruling anything out, but I'm sad to say I don't think there will be enough time. I'm very optimistic if I don't make it to the first round, I'll make it to the second. |
I'm OK for this time of year. This is the time of year where you need actually a little rest. I've pitched a lot. Willie's my man. He knows how I am when I'm totally fine and when I am not. |
I'm only doing what I have to do. And they're going to have their chances to get me back in that uniform. If they don't get me, it's probably because they didn't try hard enough. |
