ball doubt easy forget great ground hit shift
I thought it was an easy ground ball because I forget we had that big shift on. That's without a doubt the softest he's ever going to hit a ground ball off me, but Carlos made a great play.
decent inside
You always want to second-guess yourself to a point. I think it was a decent pitch. I would like to have it a little more inside and not give up a hit.

I'm here to help them in any way. They can't do anything that I haven't done on the mound.

Kenny Rogers is the staff ace but he'll be hard pressed to match his 13 wins from last year while serving as the Twins' fifth starter.
capable caught last means played shows thinking ways
I think it just shows us what we're capable of doing. But the last thing I'll do is make it better than it really is. It's one month. Yes, we've played very well in a lot of ways but don't get caught up into thinking this means more than it does.

Whatever happens, it will be my decision. I know I pitched well this year. The other stuff? That's not my hang-up. That's not what I will look back on this season.
average doubt forget great guy jump level player seen star steroids
Basically, steroids can jump you a level or two. The average player can become a star, and the star player can become a superstar, and the superstar? Forget it. He can do things we've never seen before. You take a guy who already has great hand-eye coordination and make him stronger, and without a doubt he'll be better.
deserve forget handle last sure
I didn't deserve that. I can handle it, but I won't forget it. I'm pretty sure this is my last year.

He's a dead-pull hitter. Leave it to me to get him to go the other way with what I throw.

Guys with those kinds of approaches are very difficult to pitch to.
