It's cool. It's an electric day. It's a lot of fun. I just want it to get here more than anything.
It's disappointing. You feel bad. He's a classy guy.
The hitters will let me know. You'd hate to make the adjustment before you have to.
Knowing that Joe has pitched as well as he has, I thought this was going to be a tight game, ... Then I gave up those two runs in about two minutes. I thought they might come out and be aggressive and they did.
It always makes a difference, when you get a lead early in the game. Every run early on is just a mistake you can make later.
I'd love to sit here and justify why I should throw more (on Friday). But I can't do that.
Knowing that Joe has pitched as well as he has, it had nothing to do with him facing us the first time. He's been throwing the ball great. It felt like it was going to be a tight game, and then I gave up two runs in about two minutes, before anybody's even sitting in their seats. ... I couldn't afford to make a mistake after that.
It?s disappointing. I feel bad. Hopefully, it?s something he?s at peace with. He?s a classy guy, I wish him the best.
I was more upset about the walk. I didn't want to do something stupid to get the tying run to the plate.
I knew how we were defending the batter. I felt that if I didn't catch the ball, it was a hit. It was just a reaction kind of thing.
I don't expect anything. I have no control over whether Manny comes through the door or not, and how I feel about it is not going to change anything.
I'm sitting there after the second inning and we're losing, 5-0, and I've shown no signs of being able to get them out. Like I said, after the second inning, I was at the end of my rope and I had to figure out which way I was going to go.
I don't doubt for a second i could do it. I don't doubt either that I could be good at it. I just think it's a much different mental challenge to make than it was physical.
On a personal level, that's not the kind of situation I want to be in, having to relearn someone or have someone learn me at this point in my career. But this is one of those nothing-you-can-do-about-it situations. ... The priority is and the important part is Dave is OK.
