cheer couple crowd guys hurt morning nerves nervous quality sitting stand sure woke yesterday
I think I was more nervous yesterday sitting on the bench. Obviously, when I woke up this morning I was really nervous. Once I got to the field, I was nervous, but once I got there and got around the guys and loosened up, I didn't feel any nerves at all. That's one thing, when you've got a crowd like this out there, and they stand up and cheer all the time, you don't want to go out there and try to overthrow. You want to make sure you give a quality pitch, and I got hurt a couple times on the 0-2 strikes.
chances hurt percent respect ruin team white
I thought, in respect to my team and fans, if I did go out and get hurt it would ruin our chances of repeating. I wanted to give 100 percent to (the White Sox).
arm coming hearing hurt stuff
I keep hearing stuff that my arm is hurt and I'm injured. I don't know where this is coming from, but I feel fine.
adrenalin arm bullpen hurting pitches ready throw
Down in the bullpen everything was working for me. Pretty much in that situation, you got the Adrenalin going and if your arm is hurting or whatever, once you get on the mound. ... I was pretty loose. I can throw 15 or 20 pitches and be ready to go.
boston good guy hurt obviously throw
I don't think they're as good offensively as Boston is, ... Obviously every guy in that lineup can hurt you. I've got to go out there and throw up more zeroes.
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.
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.
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.
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.
ball base caught heads josh mound paul run threw
First happened, I thought Josh Paul threw the ball to the mound like he caught it. It's a heads up play by A.J. to run to first base like that.
either glad looks seen situation time
Every time I've seen it, it looks like it could go either way. One time, he looks out and one time he looks safe. I'm glad I wasn't put in that situation to make the call.
