ball fly gets guy pressure throwing time
Any time you put pressure on the defense, that's good. You get a throwing error, the guy can end up with a triple, and then a fly ball gets him home.
hung
I know I was (a factor). I hung out with him just about every day.
excited heard
I haven't heard anything yet, ... Actually, I'm a little excited about it.
came felt good hurt job pitching purpose trying
I haven't felt good for a while, ... I was pitching for a purpose. I think I did my job when I was hurt trying to get us in. We came up a little short.
games winning
I?m happy, I?m 3-0 and that?s really all that matters. We?re 3-0 in my starts. That?s what it all comes down to, is winning games for your team.
heard taking talking
Honestly, I think they were taking it on purpose. They heard me and (Brown) talking about it the whole time.
remember threw
If I don't make it to the big leagues, nobody's going to remember I threw a no-hitter in Double-A.
create deal ended felt figured fun growing high leagues minor number rather
I figured it would probably end up being a deal where I don't want all of the comparisons. I want to be my own person and create my own deal. I felt at first it would be fun to have (21), but it ended up being that I'd just rather have 19. This is the number I was in the minor leagues and in high school, so growing up, this was my number.
blame chooses game problem won
If he chooses to come back, I have no problem with that at all. You can't blame the manager. It was us. There were a lot of game we should have won this year.
career closer last wants year
If getting out of here makes him happy, that's his deal. It's the last year of his career and he wants to be closer to his family.
execute worry
I can't worry about all the other stuff. I just have to execute my pitches.
deserve
He's a professional, and he doesn't deserve that.
builds fortunate pitches rather situations time trying
I'd rather have a 1-2-3 inning every time but I was fortunate to make some pitches there. I always prided myself in those situations and trying to get out of them. Builds a lot of character.
knew
I don't think he even knew he had the ball.
