I was getting in position to throw to second when the ball stayed down. I just didn't get the hop I was anticipating. After it hit the top of my glove, I was just trying to make sure I could get one out. I don't know if we could've turned the double play, but I would like to have found out. |
I was pleased with how I pitched and what I was doing, but the results aren't what I wanted, ... You make at least one bad pitch a game and mine was to Matheny. |

I was tired (in the fifth). Striking a lot of guys out is hard work. I realized in the fifth I didn't have a lot of ground outs. |
I was tired. Striking out all those guys is a lot of work. That's just not my game. That's three games worth of strikeouts for me, but it's fun. |
I wasn't happy about it. But to say something like that would eliminate me from ever considering (the Braves), no. It's not about me and him. It's about me and my family. That's the more important issue. |
I wish he had hit it a little harder. Someone would have caught it. |

I won't say it doesn't mean anything, but it's not as big a deal as it was because there are less and less players who are there when I was. Pitching against them will always mean something. It's not like me pitching against the Pittsburgh Pirates. |
I would pay more attention to what he's done in the past. With the game on the line, you still don't want him to beat you regardless of what his numbers might be now. |
I'd rather it was 10-0,' Schmidt said. |
I'll say this and I don't want to talk about it anymore. It's interesting to me that for somebody who's been so tight-lipped about everything that goes on in that organization, that I'm the only player that he's ever talked about when it comes to a negotiation. |
I'm not going to say it's good for the game. I'm not going to say there are no economic problems, |
I'm over that. Whatever happens, happens. I think we have a program that's more than efficient. If someone wants to get involved in our business, so be it. |
I'm starting to get a little bit of a complex about it, yeah. It's the kind of thing that it happens from time to time, but it seems like it's happening a lot to me for some reason. |
