I said, 'Oh gosh, I've got to somehow, some way, get ready to pitch Game 5 in Atlanta,'

Give them a lot of credit: When I made a bad pitch, they took advantage of it.

I never got into a real good rhythm at all, ... Extremely disappointed in starting off the series and the game like that. Just gave them too much.

After being out so long, I was more anxious to pitch than anything, just ready to get back into things. I can't imagine a better situation to test me against some pressure.

I would go to Atlanta if they give me an extra part.

He's got major decisions to make. I would never try to ask him or persuade him to do anything that he doesn't want to do.
