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.
Last week we played well against Carter (in a 42-36 victory), this week we stink, ... It's really, really, really frustrating.
They've played us well, ... We don't take them lightly.
They've obviously played us well. They've played a lot of people well. We don't take them lightly. I don't think anyone does.
Probably the theory of most people that have played the game is they'll go as long as they can until they have, A, a career-ending injury or, B, too old and they've been doing it long enough and the fire has gone out. I still have a passion for it.
This whole thing has been compressed. We're doing the best we can in a bad situation.
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.
