Dave Bush Quotations

I put myself in position to win. It doesn't always work out for you. The biggest thing to do is keep making my pitches to stay in there. I knew going in it would be tough to score against Kazmir.

I just controlled both sides of the plate, changed speeds here and there, and expanded the zone when I needed to. Mostly, I just had better command tonight.

I came into spring training to try to win a job, so I had to be ready to go.

I felt good. I was working down (in the strike zone) and mixed my pitches, which is what I have to do.

I think today kind of typified (his season). Not great, runs early in the game hurt me all year, gave up some today. Home runs have hurt me all year, that's how they scored two of their runs. There are times I got on a roll but never for more than a few starts in a row. That's probably the most frustrating part.

I've been feeling good. I think I've made some mechanical adjustments that have really helped me out.

I don't have anything they don't know about. Mostly it's pounding the strike zone, keeping the ball down and trying to stay out of patterns.

The key for me to actually getting a win was getting out of that eighth inning. We did a good job of using all 27 of our outs this game.

It was a situation I didn't handle too well and everyone knows that. There were some adjustments I had to make physically and mentally and it probably all factored into (the demotion).
