It's not something that's like a switch on my back, like I'm the Energizer bunny, like there's a switch I can turn on and turn off,
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 think he did a great job. We had a lot of inconsistencies the first half of the year, and to win as many games as we did says a lot about his managerial skills.
It creates a real disincentive for business to locate in that state.
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.
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.
I think it's a great idea, but I also like pre-kindergarten.
Whirlpool has a lot of work to do, but long-term it's going to be good for us.
