There's nothing that doesn't impress me from stuff to makeup to poise to command. All of it. He's as advertised. He's as good a kid off the field as he is on right now, too.
I felt as strong when I came out of the game as I did when I went in. To go out against a kid that's throwing the ball as well as Brandon threw the ball today, there's no margin of error.
I took a shot and tried to create something world changing and it didn't work out. I gave it everything I had, literally, and now I'm just trying to manage day by day and it's been challenging but my wife and my kids are healthy, and I'm OK.
I did all the stupid things you'd expect from a 21-year-old kid with money.
I was a very weird amalgam of things as a kid.
I've got a wife, four kids, a business, and a baseball career.
My father left me with a saying that I've carried my entire life and tried to pass on to our kids: 'Tough times don't last, tough people do,'
Real spotty comment on my fastball today and to go out against a kid that's throwing the ball as well as Brendan threw the ball today,
We won a lot more games than we lost when I was down there, and that was the goal, ... I went down there to try and help seal a leak and patch a hole. I'd like to think I did that for the most part. I mean, I certainly didn't pitch as well as I would have liked, but we played well and won games while I was down there.
I used all my pitches like I did as a starter and we located well. I had good command and I pitched.
Everything is normal. And I guess I'm making normal seem really damn exciting right now, but after last year, normal is a really cool thing for me.
said GM Theo Epstein . ''We feel the time in Arizona was time well spent. We intend to continue to be patient with Curt and make sure he's 100 percent ready before we send him out in game situations.
Both of these teams went through a lot this year. To be where we are says as much about the people as it does about the talent.
breaks well but fails in stretch. Can't recommend.
