Tom Gorzelanny Quotations

I got in a groove with my fastball. I was throwing it wherever I wanted.

I think once Tuesday 3/8comes, I might get a little nervous. But I'm still just looking forward to it, getting ready and getting pumped up about it.

Everything was working, but I was really happy with the slider.

Deep down, I knew I was a long shot to make the club but I felt I did everything I could this spring. I really feel like I continued to make a lot of progress and that I'll be back up here at some point. I know I can get guys out at this level.

It's just an honor to make my debut against a team like this. Facing off against a guy like Andy Pettitte is going to be amazing. I'm really looking forward to it.

It's an honor to know they want me to be that guy. I feel great about that, and I feel ready to show what I can do.

Everybody's got to pick it up. And I think we've got the arms to do it.

I wanted to try to show that I am ready. I believe I did that. It wasn't enough, but I am not going to let it get me down.

I know there are jobs to be won and my intention is to win one of them.

I'm just waiting my turn. I know I'm a little behind Zach and Paul and Ollie, but once my time comes around I'm not going to let it get by me.

I'm just looking forward to a chance to make the team out of spring training. If I don't, I want to go to Indy and show them I do belong in Pittsburgh. Just being there late last year gave me a lot to think about. It gave me enough experience to know what I need to do to be up there and be successful.

I don't see why it should matter what side we're all throwing from. If we've got guys who are talented, then those are the guys you go with.
