Because I want to have my arm in good shape, I need to have my legs in good shape. Without a leg, there is no arm.
We're facing a good team, a smart team, ... Right now, they're on top of their game and we're not.
We want him to pitch as much as possible.
Roger is probably the biggest freak I have ever seen in terms of how he keeps himself in shape. I can't imagine pitching like that at his age.
I'm still making a lot of pitches for the amount of innings I'm pitching. When I'm on, I don't need that many pitches. When things start to go wrong, I don't feel that confident about my pitches. They're coming around, but I'm not there yet. So all of the credit goes to my teammates and how well they have done behind me.
That ball just got away. That pitch wasn't really that far in. He leaned over (the plate).
I wasn't sure when to push it or what to expect. Now I know what to expect. Hopefully, I'll be able start mixing everything together and see how it goes. As of now, I'm planning on pitching opening day. If not, I'll pitch on the fifth day. I guarantee I'll have one spot in the rotation.
I would get some that say 'I am not fan' and they were probably a Yankee fan and there would be some mean letters. It was a little disappointing.
Only God knows why I didn't make it with the Mets, but yes, in a short period of time, I got the opportunity with the Phillies.
You have to execute. You have to sacrifice your body.
I never expected Giles to score like that, ... We are facing a smart team. Obviously, they are on top of their game.
What can I say--just tip my hat and call the Yankees my daddy. I can't find a way to beat them at this point.
At 2-0 I wanted to throw a strike, I wanted to get him. It was a cutter. But Mike didn't waste any time and he does really well against me in his career.
At my Mom's house on the farm, it get's so dark, you look at the stars and and you feel like you can just reach out and grab them. I love her so much and I love this place so much, it hurts. I stay here because I need to find myself again after playing in the States. Here it's me talking. It's my soul talking.
