I got the ball and calmly got off the mound and just wiped my hand slowly across my face. It's so rare (to see a ball called), because one knows you can't put your hand in your mouth. How can he think I'd do that?

He did not go to his mouth. He was sweating profusely on his face. He wiped his eyebrow across his nose, and (Dreckman) called it on his face. It was a bad call, plain and simple.

The umpire was a little uncomfortable with me. I just didn't pay attention to it. The pitch was inside and I thought it was a good pitch. My only reaction was 'Wow!' and he came running at and said, 'Don't do that again.

The umpire was a little uncomfortable with me, but I didn't pay much attention to him. I knew I had to go to the next hitter, and that's what I concentrated on.

I really, really feel good, but I'm missing on my location, my spots.

I threw the ball real well warming up in the bullpen. And then I go to the mound, I lost all feel [for the ball]. It was terrible. I don't know what that was. It was bad.
