7 Quotes by Joe Savery

When I'm throwing hard and have all my stuff, you can afford to miss a little bit more. But I needed to go after them. I figured we were going to hit the ball.

My first four starts I've had trouble with that, and finally you just get fed up with it. If we were going to win, I had to get ahead and get people out.

I guess I just had to fail so much that I just didn't care anymore before I could start hitting a little bit. I got way under a ball and it floated out, and that made the rest of the day a lot easier.

Hitting right now has been a little frustrating. I credit that to me missing the pitches to hit. I'm a year in, and scouting reports get around the country. I feel like I'm a good hitter, but I don't think it's very hard to get me out if you pitch me right.
