enjoy hit home shot steal sure week
He can't even give me a week to enjoy my home run. He has to hit to a shot in the upper deck. He sure can steal the show, can't he?
everybody felt good likes needed playing
I felt like when I needed to, I did a pretty good job. Everybody here likes to play in these kind of games, because you're playing for something.
felt
I felt good, I felt strong. I executed my pitches.
jack knee taken
Jack was right, ... He should have taken me over his knee and spanked me.
builds pitch situation trying
I always prided myself in those situations, trying to get out of them. It builds a lot of character, to pitch yourself into that situation and get yourself out.
barry
He's Barry Bonds. There's nothing else you can really say.
rehab coming-back
I just don't see me going through that rehab and coming back to pitch at this point in my life.
strong spring seven-months
What you do during the offseason is, first, build a base. That takes about three weeks, and then you try to get as strong as you can before you go to spring training. Once you get there, you taper down and it's just a maintenance program for the next six or seven months.
league arrogant body
I'm the best. That's why I'm so relaxed out there. You've got to have some arrogant bones in your body, especially to be a pitcher in the big leagues.
texas one-day records
Any strikeout record worth having is in a Texas pitcher's pocket. I might come join them one day.
dad years eight
Pitching is pitching. I've been doing this since I was eight-years-old, playing in my backyard with my dad. The things that work in Double-A will also work in the majors.
want easy throwing
The thing about throwing a fastball is, you want it to be easy, you want it to be effortless.
guy balls wanted
I've definitely always wanted to be the guy they tell, 'Here's the ball. Go do it.'
running couple winning
I want to be that good. I want to be Barry Bonds. I want when I pitch to be 'Win Day.' I want my teammates to relax on the days I pitch because they know they only have to get us a couple of runs. I'm totally prepared for that.
