Everything felt good. This is the first time I've been healthy in two years, and going out there to compete with nothing on your mind but your stuff is a real different feeling for me right now.
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.
You just kind of have to realize that there are people that don't like you and, unfortunately, sometimes those people have a voice. Disliking me probably matches my dislike for him (Gomez), but I have a problem with people who don't have integrity and principle so that stuff happens. You just kind of just let it go.
Tonight I probably pitched in more than any start I've done in my career. I had a game plan and we executed. The stuff has been there, and I felt in the seventh inning, velocity-wise, when I had to have it, I had it. That's a big boost.
It's a loss. I can't search for things and try to figure things out at the expense of this ball club. Not now. Not in August. Not with a 2 1/2-game lead. Tonight was a night when I certainly had the stuff to win and just did not execute.
I am human, when people write bad stuff about me it bothers me, but I know that will never end.
I didn't feel like I had super stuff and I didn't feel like I had bad stuff. I felt normal.
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.
