I've pitched too many innings and pitched too many years - one game doesn't make or break my career.
I think it's all a coincidence. I've pitched some poor games here and got a no-decision. But just give me the ball. I don't care where I pitch.
Your body is not made to throw like we throw. That's why you see softball pitchers pitching two or three games a day. It's a natural movement in softball. In baseball it's not a natural movement.
What a great honor, ... Roberto Clemente may be the greatest humanitarian in the game of baseball. I commend the Clemente family for this award and I thank you from the bottom of my heart.
You just have to look at it like you got your bad game out of the way.
I say this respectfully. He's a freak. He's a very good hitter without a strike zone. He can hit the ball in, hit the ball off the plate away, hit the ball up and go get the ball that's down. He covers the plate, and beyond.
It almost felt like it was my dad back there. My dad was the same way in the driveway.
I was throwing mostly fastballs and had pretty good location. I was able to keep the ball down and work quickly.
That was a heads-up play. I was behind him (backing up), and he saw the throw didn't have enough to get the runner. So he ran up where he could get the ball cleanly and make the throw. That made it two outs and no on, instead of (the potential for) an add-on run. The damage was over.
I wasn't ready to say, I can't play anymore. And I'm still not.
I felt like my location was a lot better today. That's a plus.
I didn't locate well. That usually causes problems, for me especially.
From when it happened, it's a moot point for me. Carl Everett is going to contribute, and I'm happy to have anyone on our team who can contribute.
He does have a little bit to learn about pitching, learning about hitters, situations in games, things like that. That will come. Anybody at the age of 19 is going to be in that same situation. The things that he has that the average 19-year-old, sometimes 25-year-old guys don't have. And that's what's going to carry him.
