believe lucky pitch
I got lucky again. I couldn't believe where the pitch was.
bit breaking coming early easy fastball feeling felt fifth giving innings momentum pushing quick stopped strong taking wind
I got some easy outs in some quick innings with some changeups to the lefties, ... Coming back and taking the lead, giving us momentum after the fifth inning, I just started feeling strong and stronger. I felt like my fastball was livelier. The wind stopped pushing so much at my back, which I think made my breaking ball a little bit better because early on I didn't think it was good.
balls breaking feed threw
I didn't want to feed him fastballs. I threw him some breaking balls off the plate.
betrayed felt tough
I don't feel like they betrayed me. It's just a tough situation. I'm disappointed. I felt like I had done enough around here that they would keep me.
both josh opportunity top
Having two No. 1s is really what put us over the top and I think we have an opportunity to have that here with Josh and Curt if they're both healthy.

behind guys helps jason page plate thinking
Having Jason back there helps me out because we're thinking more on the same page than having other guys behind the plate that don't know your stuff.

I agreed to the contract with the strong advice not to sign it simply for the reason that I want to play in this town and I love being a Red Sox. I wouldn't have signed this deal in any other place.

He comes in consistently throwing the ball hard and where he wants to. I'm amazed each time he goes out there.
guys knows playing pressure wonderful
He knows when to put pressure on guys and when not to. It's wonderful playing under him. He never kills us in the paper.
accustomed body few good mound time tired
You feel good physically, but your body does things the first time you get on the mound that you're not accustomed to the first few months. So you get tired quickly.
boomer monkey obviously threw
Boomer obviously threw a monkey wrench in everybody?s plans.
bit breathing compare easier eight facing feels game gives goes hole league mentally national nine pitch pitcher power tough wearing yankees
Facing the Yankees 19 times a year, that lineup is so power packed -- even the eight hole and nine hole sometimes. It's tough to pitch to. It's mentally wearing on you as the game goes on. For me to be over here in the National League, just to have the pitcher in the nine hole, gives me a little bit of breathing room. I don't think there's any lineup in the National League that can compare with that one. For me, it feels like it's easier to get over the hump.
anywhere ben both deal felt guarantee lifetime near security stated strongly table time traded
But Jed and Ben both stated to me that there was no deal on the table for me right now, and they felt pretty strongly that I wouldn't be traded any time anywhere in the near future. They couldn't guarantee me security for the lifetime of the contract.
