felt fill good negative positive start stuff talk
Let's talk about the outing. I felt pretty good today, let's start with that. I don't want to fill it up with stuff like that, negative stuff. Let's be positive here.
point
It's not like I wanted to fight. I just wanted to make the point that you look like a jackass when you do that and you're out.
difficult hard
That can become a distraction, ... If you don't get it out of the way, it's difficult to concentrate on what you need to concentrate on. I know it's been hard for him.
deal dealt doubt good miss move time tough
I'm going to miss him. No doubt about it. It's a tough business, though. You've got to deal with the good times and the bad. He's dealt with them, and it's time for him to move on to another venture.
everybody loss nice pitch runs score seen showing since worst
There are a lot of us that were on that 2003 team, so it's not like it's showing we know how to win. We've got to win games, we've got to score runs and we've got to pitch well. We need to get everybody back on track. It's nice to come back and score all these runs after the worst loss I've seen since I've been in Florida. It was nice.
days felt focused found great
You know, I felt intense, I felt focused today. Days when you have great stuff, you probably shouldn't give up any runs, and I still found a way to give up two.
team division tampa
There are no days off in our division. Even a team like Tampa Bay can beat you up.
sorry play games
I make too much money to play a game I love to ever feel sorry for myself.
games way bigs
I'm confident in myself, either way. I've pitched big games all my life.
guy balls wanted
I've definitely always wanted to be the guy they tell, 'Here's the ball. Go do it.'
want easy throwing
The thing about throwing a fastball is, you want it to be easy, you want it to be effortless.
dad years eight
Pitching is pitching. I've been doing this since I was eight-years-old, playing in my backyard with my dad. The things that work in Double-A will also work in the majors.
texas one-day records
Any strikeout record worth having is in a Texas pitcher's pocket. I might come join them one day.
league arrogant body
I'm the best. That's why I'm so relaxed out there. You've got to have some arrogant bones in your body, especially to be a pitcher in the big leagues.
