It's just a matter of let's work together and get the job done because the bottom line is winning ballgames.
It's a situation that my family has known about the whole time and (I will) just move on from here. It's a family matter so I just tend to keep it private, that's all.
It was basically a matter of a feel thing. It wasn't getting work in. It was just to get the feel of what you want to accomplish, and I got that in 35 pitches.
You've got to make your pitches, no matter who you're facing. I did not execute my pitches and paid the price.
It's nice to know that with good mechanics, I can have a game like this. Now it's just a matter of going out and stringing them together.
Jason was a one-man wrecking crew. Jason pretty much did it all himself today. I'm glad to see he's back on track and picked up where he left off in the second half of the season. It's a real blessing to have someone like that in the lineup.
Last week we played well against Carter (in a 42-36 victory), this week we stink, ... It's really, really, really frustrating.
I think every pitcher pitches a little differently when they get out of Colorado, ... He's a different pitcher here and we're really getting the benefits of his performances. He's pitching the way he always knew he could out of that environment.
With all the adversity this team has been through, it's very gratifying to see how things panned out for everybody. It's pretty satisfying considering I haven't been as consistent as I'd like to be, and to still win 17 games ... that's pretty satisfying.
Regarding the unfortunate incident that happened this morning as I was on my way to take a physical, I hope that everyone will understand that the past few days have been a bit overwhelming and I wish I had handled the situation differently, ... I am very sorry it happened.
I'm here to win. No doubt, it's been a disappointing year, but I know what I'm capable of doing. I think the game that I pitched today was coming.
There are situations where employers cannot find American workers to fill jobs.
Just take a little breather and let the bullpen come in. They did a nice job. I don't need to go out there every time and pitch seven, eight innings.
That, and the biggest thing is I've missed my mechanics, too.
