club coming crowd games guys last nervous talking team
To be honest, this was probably one of the most nervous games I've ever pitched in. Coming off last year, the crowd was really into it. The guys on the other club have been kind of mouthing off, talking about how they were a better team than us. So I really wanted us to come out and do just what we did.
best chance five game games hope hoping percent spring starting team training win wins year
Being a starting pitcher, you want to be a 20-game winner. Every year you come into spring training hoping to get to that part. I've always said if I win five games and the team wins 90 percent of my starts, that's all I can hope for, give my team the best chance to win.
games guys might staff team three win year
I think we have at least two guys on this staff that can win 20 games this year with the team we have, the offense. Like I've said before, it does take a lot of luck. There's a lot that has to happen. But I think it's not just two that can win 20 games on this staff. There might be three or more that can do it.
games good home playing seems since six sweep
Ever since the All-Star break, it seems like I haven't had too many good games. It's frustrating. We've still got six games with Cleveland. And the way that they're playing, they could sweep us right now. If we keep on playing like we're playing, we're not going to the playoffs. We'll be home on Oct. 3.
ball best couple eighth found games ground innings key middle pitches seventh
It was probably one of the best games of my career. We found my changeup in the middle innings and in the seventh and eighth innings I made a couple of key pitches and had a ground ball and a couple of outs. But it was one of the best games of my career.

This is probably one of the best games of my career.
balls calls games hit landing win
Everything is going our way. The balls are landing our way, the calls are going our way and we're getting that big hit when we need it. Everything you look at, how can't we win this thing? But we still have two more games to win.
baseball crazy games
Never say never in this game because crazy stuff can happen.
second
Without him in the second half, I don't know if we'd be here today.
anybody expected half hold knew liked month year
I don't think anybody expected us to play as well as we did in the first half all year long. We knew we were going to go in a little funk. We just had to hold it to a minimum. We would have liked to clinch about a month ago, but we're here and that's all that matters.
anybody expected liked month
I don't think anybody expected us to do what we did this year. But we're here, and we did it. We would have liked to clinch a month ago, but we're able to now, and that's all that matters.
center cheating field somebody whatever
To have somebody out in center field or whatever they're doing, that's cheating.
couple early happened nice offense runs starting struggling time work
Being a starting pitcher, you want to go out there and get as many runs early as you can. It happened a lot early in the season, and then the offense had been struggling lately. But any time you get a couple of runs early, it's nice to work with.
