This whole thing has been compressed. We're doing the best we can in a bad situation.
I love this kind of stuff. Obviously, it's starting to pan out to be the kind of year I was hoping for. Even in my best years, I've had some bad games. I'm extremely focused and realize I have one more start.
It's been unfortunate with Jorge that he first caught the flu and then broke his nose. I've had my last five games being caught by Kelly, but whoever is back there, I'll do my best and be focused. It would have been nice to have had the body of my work caught by Jorge, so he would have had a feel for what's been going on with my pitches.
I tried to limit the damage the best I could.
What's impressive is their starting pitching. You give up three runs to a team like ours, that's impressive. Obviously they've played us well, but they've played other teams well.
To say our offense won't come around is like saying the sun won't come up tomorrow.
We found that students there were taking biology, chemistry and physics for three years in high school, Chinese students want to take math and science. Those are the cool subjects there.
We control our own destiny. I'm sure it'll come down to those last three games in Boston.
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.
Everything I threw over the plate they hit.
Everything's fine, everything's good. It's early in the year. I just (wanted to) take a little breather and let the bullpen come in. They did a nice job.
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.
