I'm still doing my thing at 41, I don't care what anyone tells me. It's mentally exhausting to be that focused every pitch now. It was easier at an earlier age ... It's the ingredient I've missed more than anything else.
Tonight's game was the most emotional one I've had in a long time, ... I don't get worked up about who I'm up against -- I think it's just being here in Seattle. This was where I got the opportunity to throw every five days.
It's clear we don't have enough workers with math and science degrees and in a workforce of 140m a cap of 65,000 is way too low. The cap has filled almost immediately over the past two years.
I felt like I was able to hit my spots. I felt like my last three starts have been good starts, and I've been able to build off those.
It's been unfortunate with Jorge that he first caught the flu and then broke his nose. I've had my last five games being caught by Kelly, but whoever is back there, I'll do my best and be focused. It would have been nice to have had the body of my work caught by Jorge, so he would have had a feel for what's been going on with my pitches.
This whole thing has been compressed. We're doing the best we can in a bad situation.
I don't get worked up against who I'm pitching against.
I love this kind of stuff. Obviously, it's starting to pan out to be the kind of year I was hoping for. Even in my best years, I've had some bad games. I'm extremely focused and realize I have one more start.
Last week we played well against Carter (in a 42-36 victory), this week we stink, ... It's really, really, really frustrating.
I may do it again one more time,
