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.

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

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

That was the best I have ever seen [Lowry] throw -- that one pitch is getting better, and that is bad news for everybody.

He was dealing. He was getting ahead, then he was able to throw his split. He hit his spots. Sometimes you have to tip your hat to a guy throwing the ball like that.
