27 Quotes by Scott Downs

It's my first win as a Blue Jay, it's exciting.

It was an important game for me. I think it proved I could be starter in the big leagues and it proved that I could compete at the big-league level on a consistent basis.

It was a battle. I was fortunate enough to keep the team in the game while I was in there.

I'm making pitches when I need to make pitches and I'm not putting myself behind the eight-ball. It's all about keeping your team in the game. If we get nine, I can give up eight. As long as your team's in the game, I've done my job.

I'm just riding a wave right now. Pitching right now is fun. I'm going out there and keeping my team in the game.

I'm just riding a wave, ... Pitching right now is fun. I'm going out there and keeping the team in the game for as long as I'm out there. As long as I do that pitching is still going to be fun.

You've got to have guys who fill in the void and I'm taking in pride in that.

The chance is all I could ask for. It was good for me just to get a fresh start so I could pitch and prove I could be at the major-league level on a consistent basis. These guys gave me that last year and I'm getting that chance again this year.
