A.J. Burnett Threw Quotations

I threw a lot of pitches early. You've got to put them away when you're ahead. I wasn't as good as I expected to be.

I threw a lot of pitches early, a lot of 2-2 counts, a lot of 3-2 counts. You've got to put them away when you get ahead.

The third inning was good, but something wasn't right. (The Jays) will take care of me. I'm not worried about that. I come back and it's just a scar tissue thing, I would expect to take a few extra days as opposed to being back on the same schedule as last time. If I threw five days later last time, why not wait until 15? Make sure everything is out of there for good ... whatever it is.

It was mainly the pitch in the second, I felt a little different, no pain, nothing like that as far as the first inning. But I wasn't loose. You know, live arm, the same giddy up that I have had in the past. I was kind of worrying about that and as soon as I threw that pitch I knew what it was.

If I threw five days later last time, why not wait 10-15? Just make sure this thing's out of there for good -- whatever it is. There's a shark floating in there and we have to get it out.
