Derrick Turnbow Quotations

There are times I'm off mechanically and he knows exactly what to do. He helped me a lot last season.

Last year we were up here for exhibition games and I was still hoping to be on the team. A year later, it's a totally different situation. I would have never believed it would happen.

I felt better than (Tuesday) night. I was just missing a little bit. I didn't want to give in.

He's been an unbelievable amount of help to me. He sees me down there every single day and when I'm off, he knows exactly what it is. He is the one who helped me develop my slider last year, especially during the second half of the season. He's been amazing.

I think things might change a little bit, knowing that you have some security. But now there is pressure to perform and live up to expectations a little bit more.

I said all along that it's very important for us to get off to a good start and to get some momentum going, get our confidence high. Then we can ride it out from there.

I'm still not putting guys away when I get ahead right now. It's killing me a little bit, but luckily the defense is bailing me out. I'm battling right now. My command is not where I want it to be at all and it's making innings interesting.

There's going to be a little more pressure with each game with the money, but that's the way it goes. I'm just happy to send everybody home with a win. I fed off the crowd at the end. They were great.

That's not the way you want to get an out. I saw it the whole way, but a lot of times that ball hits off your glove and bounces away.

They're still talking about it. Right now, I'd say it's 50-50.

They're in the early stages. We'll see. I'd love to be here, so I hope it happens.

It was awesome. I never thought I'd be in that position. It's amazing. Honestly, I still can't believe it. Maybe eventually it will hit me, but it hasn't yet.

I made a bad pitch and he did what he was supposed to do with it.

I don't really need anything. I'm just going to put the money aside.

All three games, I just wasn't making that good of quality pitches. Just had to battle there.
