Josh Hancock Quotations

One pitch hurt me. I've got to do a better job of getting ahead of batters.

It didn't go down well, but when one door closes, another door opens. The Cardinals have been great. I couldn't ask for anything better.

We all saw each other throwing, and it made us better. We knew what we were fighting for. But I worked hard for this, and I'm happy to get it.

There's a lot of bitterness; it still kind of stings. But I definitely think I was made an example of, like a shot across the bow to the other players to let them know they have to come in and be in shape and be ready. ... It was unexpected, to say the least.

It was definitely a low point. Definitely. I didn't expect them to be as harsh as they were publicly about whatever was going on. But everything is better now.

It's clear to me that I have to go in there and get guys out. Regardless of what inning or what role, my job is to throw strikes and get guys out.

I'm not going to come in here and back down. I'm going to come in here and throw my game.

I'll be thinking about it, but I want the ball again. I just got behind him and he was looking fastball. I gave him a fastball to hit. the location was off, I didn't get ahead. I just didn't pitch today. I was trying to get it low, try to put him on the ground. if he was going to get a swing on it, I wanted him to swing and hit it down.

I'll be thinking about it, but I want the ball again.

I could always lose five, six pounds. I'm fit enough to pitch. Fit enough to do my job.
