awhile bad either goat good hero stink
I stink right now. You get booed when you do bad in my job. You're either the hero or the goat every day. ... I've been the goat pretty good for awhile here.
bad ball days good hit maybe pitch pitches pop putting swings terrible
I make one good pitch then come back and make a terrible pitch and they hit the ball out of the ballpark. One of these days maybe they'll pop one up. But right now, they're putting good swings on the bad pitches I'm throwing.
bad few goat good hero
That's just what they do. I get booed when you do bad in my job. It's part of it. You're the hero or the goat every day -- it's been like that for I don't know how many years -- and I've been a goat pretty good for a few days.
deal forget good mind pitcher shower
I know good and well what's going through his mind. But it's the playoffs. As a pitcher you just have to deal with it, take a shower and forget about it.
good hitting people swinging worked
I need to get people out. I need to be out there. I need to have them swinging at my pitches. Right now, everything they swing at, they're hitting pretty good. We'll get it worked out. But it's not very good right now.
good perfect pitch press
You try to make the perfect pitch -- it doesn't always happen. You press a little bit, get booed and all of that good stuff. But that's just part of my job. You just have to keep going.
bad good left people saying stuff sure swings taking throw
It's just things like that, and they're really not taking any bad swings at anything I throw up there. I'm sure people are saying I don't have anything left in the tank. Whatever. I know I still have good enough stuff to get people out.
ball good hit people pitch stuff terrible
I know I've got good enough stuff to get people out. It's about making good pitches, and I haven't been able to do that yet. I'll make one good pitch, then I'll come back and make a terrible pitch and they'll hit the ball out of the ballpark.
mechanics
I think I have my mechanics back in order. Things are going in the right direction. It doesn't look like it totally, but to me, they are.
bad pitch wish
Just one bad pitch I wish I could get back, but I can't. It's just frustrating more than anything, but we'll be back out there.
biggest eight happen page turn worked
My biggest thing, he worked his butt off for eight innings, and I go out and give up the lead, not once, but twice. It doesn't happen often. I'll turn the page and go out tomorrow. Tonight's over.
bad best given home left people runs saying sure swings taking tank throw year
I give up one or two home runs a year and now I've given up two in the first week. They're not really taking any bad swings at what I throw up there. I'm sure people are saying I don't have anything left in the tank ... whatever. I feel like I've got enough to get people out. I just have to go out there and use it to the best of my ability.
changes information
When they started going over the itinerary, I told them I didn't want to do that. It wasn't about not getting ready. When I first committed, we didn't have all the information about how long we were going to be away. I just wasn't comfortable with that because of all the changes we've made. I wanted to be part of it here.
expect phone
When he pitches, you don't expect the phone to ring.
