Everything's fine. Everything's good. It's early in the year.
Everybody thought I'd be the first one to break down in this rotation, and I was the one who was the most stable.
At this point, being 41 years old, it's just a few little keys here and there. It's hard to get to know somebody; he doesn't know me, either. It's kind of hard to evaluate his input.
Communication is going to be 60 percent of the job. And he has instant credibility.
Don't get in my face, ... I don't care who you are. Don't get in my face.
Don't get in my face, and don't talk back to me, all right.
You get a little bit over the rubber, rushing a little bit, and then your arm seems to drop down. It's been a long process, a long year, a frustrating year. But that's been the problem and I'll continue to work on it.
That's the pitcher that everybody expected and the pitcher that I expected. It's taken me awhile to find my mechanics.
That's the pitcher that everybody expected, and that's the pitcher that I'd expected.
I was barely a .500 pitcher before my dad died and I got married and had a baby... my wife and baby brought me down to earth.
Math and science are the foundation for engineering. That's the basis for technical development.
I was used to a few reporters in Phoenix who would walk by in passing and asked me how I was feeling. Here, I had 10 guys asking me about two innings in spring training.
I think our pitching staff is pretty good, ... The pieces are starting to fall in place, which is good. We have a month and a half left, so every game is important.
I think he did a great job. We had a lot of inconsistencies the first half of the year, and to win as many games as we did says a lot about his managerial skills.
