I make one good pitch then come back and make a terrible pitch and they hit the ball out of the ballpark. One of these days maybe they'll pop one up. But right now, they're putting good swings on the bad pitches I'm throwing.

I give up one or two home runs a year and now I've given up two in the first week. They're not really taking any bad swings at what I throw up there. I'm sure people are saying I don't have anything left in the tank ... whatever. I feel like I've got enough to get people out. I just have to go out there and use it to the best of my ability.

He has a degree in psychology, so he's very cerebral about pitching and mechanics and things like that. He would make me think more than I usually did, which is sometimes bad for me.

Just one bad pitch I wish I could get back, but I can't. It's just frustrating more than anything, but we'll be back out there.

That's just what they do. I get booed when you do bad in my job. It's part of it. You're the hero or the goat every day -- it's been like that for I don't know how many years -- and I've been a goat pretty good for a few days.

It's just things like that, and they're really not taking any bad swings at anything I throw up there. I'm sure people are saying I don't have anything left in the tank. Whatever. I know I still have good enough stuff to get people out.

I made that one bad pitch today and he hit it out. If he pops it up, it's a different story.... If I make a better pitch, he doesn't hit it out of the infield.

I had bad mechanics (against) the first two guys. I thought I could get in on him with my best pitch, get a ground ball and try to get a double play. I didn't get in there far enough.
