What changed me about coming here was the chance to win. That's basically the main reason behind my decision, the chance to win and compete.
I threw him a fastball up and away, ... He just put the bat on the ball. It was there, and he hit it. There's nothing you can do about it.
He's just pretty much left me alone and let me do my thing,
I didn't really have a lot of options. I wanted to sign with the Cubs, but I knew I had to prove myself. That was a big year for me.
I'm ready for it. The easy thing would have been to stay with the Braves, it was so close to home. But I wanted to be here in this atmosphere.
You can't please everyone. I think it's good to think about the long term. Pitching and defense is what wins.
You've got to give them credit, ... They kept battling and battling. It's just one of those things that happens.
Someone said 103, 104 miles an hour, something like that. As long as I get people out, I don't care how hard I throw. I don't look at it, and I don't really care.
That was one of the strangest games I've ever seen. How did we not win?
I wasn't much of a pitcher. I had a live arm, that was about it.
It's going to be a good, new start. Being part of the Yankees, being around all of these superstars in this environment, I can't wait.
I loved that kind of discipline. It would've suited me well if I didn't play baseball.
It was a great game today. It was just a matter of whoever got the best break to win it in the end.
I told Bobby, 'If you need me to go two innings, I can go two,' ... He did what he had to do. It's one of those things. It happens.
