I missed my pitch. When you do that and leave a ball over the plate, they're going to hit it.

I'm looking for a good pitch to hit, something that he'll leave over the plate. He just did a good job pitching to me. His cutter was still alive and jumping out of his hand.

You're just trying to throw the best pitch you can and make sure you hit your spots. I don't have to force nobody.

My arm feels great and I wanted to pitch. (Wednesday's) game was a bad one. This was much better. Much more like us.

I just missed off the plate. I'd rather that than miss over the plate and them hit it over the wall.

I threw maybe 12 pitches, ... I knew that Ortiz was going to pinch hit. I wanted to face him.
