fun seems
It was fun to get out there again. When things are going bad, it seems like it snowballs, but things will be fine.
hitting people pitches swinging throw
I want to get in there as much as I can right now. I need to get people out; I need to throw pitches to people. I need to see how they're swinging at my pitches, and right now everything they're swinging at, they're hitting it pretty good.
game pitches
It's just about making pitches and I can't right now. I'm not making pitches. It's just something I have to get through, and keep working on, and keep doing in between games. It's just something I never went through before. That's why the game is so great. We just have to keep going. As of right now, it's just not going very well.
great
It's great to be part if this. To get a milestone for him like that, that's amazing.
calling home
As long as they keep calling down there, I'll keep going out there, and I'll give up another home run, I'm sure. That's just part of it.
bad few goat good hero
That's just what they do. I get booed when you do bad in my job. It's part of it. You're the hero or the goat every day -- it's been like that for I don't know how many years -- and I've been a goat pretty good for a few days.
mind pitch ready realize time
That's just mind over matter, ... You have to go out there and realize what you're getting ready for. We've had this talk, me and Tony. Every time I go out there, I have to think I'm getting ready to pitch in the playoffs.
carpenter course front guys mark taking
Of course we're better off. We got Carpenter healthy, and we got Mark Mulder. I'm not taking anything away from the other guys, but those two guys at the front of the rotation? They're pretty good.
bad pitch wish
Just one bad pitch I wish I could get back, but I can't. It's just frustrating more than anything, but we'll be back out there.
changes information
When they started going over the itinerary, I told them I didn't want to do that. It wasn't about not getting ready. When I first committed, we didn't have all the information about how long we were going to be away. I just wasn't comfortable with that because of all the changes we've made. I wanted to be part of it here.
bad best given home left people runs saying sure swings taking tank throw year
I give up one or two home runs a year and now I've given up two in the first week. They're not really taking any bad swings at what I throw up there. I'm sure people are saying I don't have anything left in the tank ... whatever. I feel like I've got enough to get people out. I just have to go out there and use it to the best of my ability.
pitch totally
If it's a one-run game, you pitch totally different.
eight lead worked
He worked his butt off for eight innings, and I go out there and give up the lead not once but twice.
bad cerebral degree mechanics pitching
He has a degree in psychology, so he's very cerebral about pitching and mechanics and things like that. He would make me think more than I usually did, which is sometimes bad for me.
