change itself lends locate pitcher type
The type of pitcher I am now, it lends itself to being consistent. I do know how to locate (and) I do know how to pitch and change speeds.
deserve forget handle last sure
I didn't deserve that. I can handle it, but I won't forget it. I'm pretty sure this is my last year.
continue game location sets
My location was good. That sets up the whole game if I can get in and out. If I can continue to do that, I'll be consistent.
appreciate behind defense great played
Carlos was outstanding. They played great behind me, and I appreciate that probably more than any other pitcher, because I need my defense more than most.
average doubt forget great guy jump level player seen star steroids
Basically, steroids can jump you a level or two. The average player can become a star, and the star player can become a superstar, and the superstar? Forget it. He can do things we've never seen before. You take a guy who already has great hand-eye coordination and make him stronger, and without a doubt he'll be better.
ball doubt easy forget great ground hit shift
I thought it was an easy ground ball because I forget we had that big shift on. That's without a doubt the softest he's ever going to hit a ground ball off me, but Carlos made a great play.
help
I'm here to help them in any way. They can't do anything that I haven't done on the mound.
ask hoping local stations tv
Local TV stations were hoping to ask him about it, but no photographer would take the assignment.
whatever
Whatever happens, it will be my decision. I know I pitched well this year. The other stuff? That's not my hang-up. That's not what I will look back on this season.
leave
He's a dead-pull hitter. Leave it to me to get him to go the other way with what I throw.
approaches difficult guys kinds pitch
Guys with those kinds of approaches are very difficult to pitch to.
ace fifth hard kenny last match pressed rogers serving staff wins year
Kenny Rogers is the staff ace but he'll be hard pressed to match his 13 wins from last year while serving as the Twins' fifth starter.
capable caught last means played shows thinking ways
I think it just shows us what we're capable of doing. But the last thing I'll do is make it better than it really is. It's one month. Yes, we've played very well in a lot of ways but don't get caught up into thinking this means more than it does.
anxious driving front keeps nervous obstacles overcome whatever
I always get nervous and a little anxious before any game. If I don't, I need to go home. I think that's part of it that keeps me going, keeps driving me to overcome whatever obstacles are in front of me.
