hurt three throwing walk
It's three games. We may self-implode. We don't know what's going to happen. As of right now, we're going out there and throwing strikes. When you get hurt is when you walk people. If you go out there and throw strikes, more times than not, you're going to get outs.
ball compensate days fall figure hip last moving night throwing totally tuesday year
It's ridiculous. It's not like last year when I had to compensate for my hip and my shoulder. Now I feel great, and now everything isn't the same. The ball is moving the way I want it to, but something mechanically is throwing me off. I need to figure that one thing out. I've got two days to do it. Then again, I may get out there Tuesday night and it may just fall into place because it's a totally different ballgame.

bad good left people saying stuff sure swings taking throw
It's just things like that, and they're really not taking any bad swings at anything I throw up there. I'm sure people are saying I don't have anything left in the tank. Whatever. I know I still have good enough stuff to get people out.
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.
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.
again check gun hard pitch throw
I probably don't throw as hard as I once did. But then again I don't have to. I used to check the gun every pitch to see where I was. That was pretty much it: how hard I could throw it.
And we'd better get it done quick, because it's only going to get more expensive.
biggest eight happen page turn worked
My biggest thing, he worked his butt off for eight innings, and I go out and give up the lead, not once, but twice. It doesn't happen often. I'll turn the page and go out tomorrow. Tonight's over.
mechanics
I think I have my mechanics back in order. Things are going in the right direction. It doesn't look like it totally, but to me, they are.
awhile bad either goat good hero stink
I stink right now. You get booed when you do bad in my job. You're either the hero or the goat every day. ... I've been the goat pretty good for awhile here.
bad ball days good hit maybe pitch pitches pop putting swings terrible
I make one good pitch then come back and make a terrible pitch and they hit the ball out of the ballpark. One of these days maybe they'll pop one up. But right now, they're putting good swings on the bad pitches I'm throwing.
It's not really normal. But it's the playoffs.
good perfect pitch press
You try to make the perfect pitch -- it doesn't always happen. You press a little bit, get booed and all of that good stuff. But that's just part of my job. You just have to keep going.
