behind happen liked shut somebody stand
I would have liked to have somebody stand behind me and say: 'We've got your back. Go out there and shut them down from here on. But that didn't happen today, so whatever.
among division feeling handled pressure uphill wrong
There's no division among the players, ... It's been a uphill battle, and we've been feeling the pressure and sometimes it's come out the wrong way, but I think everyone has handled it. There have not been any knock-down, drag-out fights.
battling
I've been out there battling my butt off all year,
forget good
I wanted to go out there and get a good start, so I can forget about everything that happened,
they tell me to get out of here.
bad beat fell gave good guy key needed pitches tough
I wasn't going to give into Sweeney, ever. That's the one guy in the lineup I'm not going to get beat by. Some of the other walks, I made some bad pitches and fell behind. I think the key was I never gave in. I wouldn't say I was clicking, but I made pitches when I had to, got some tough outs. That was one of the things I needed to be able to do. When you're able to make pitches, you feel pretty good about it. That was the story tonight.
feels time
I'm locating a lot better than I usually do at this time of year. Everything feels in sync.
gets handle leadership remarkable respect
He's pretty remarkable with that. I think when you handle it the way he did, he gets more respect than he has already. I think he showed a lot of leadership in being able to take that. That's what you want out of the leader of your staff.
complain four hunt last playing playoff stuff
I can't complain about being here, ... We have been in the playoff hunt the last four years. I like playing here, and I think this other stuff can be resolved. I know little things have come up, but they have been resolved.
bad five good impressive knowing strikes
It's terrible, man, because when he comes in, it makes you look bad as he strikes out five guys. But it's pretty impressive to be able to do that. It makes you feel good knowing you've got someone like that out there to back you up.
both helped locate maybe naturally pitches plate sides terms three tough work
The curveball is something that doesn't just come naturally to me. It was always tough for me to work on. Maybe being able to work on the three pitches and locate all three to both sides of the plate has helped me, in terms of location.
knowing
It (stinks). Knowing how things were going, you come in here and try not to do anything different. I just didn't have a feel out there. It was real frustrating.
fans hear tough twins until
I didn't hear anything about it until right before I went out there. I couldn't do my own thing before my starts. I was pretty sad. It's a tough day for Twins fans and for his family.
