Jeremy Affeldt Quotations

If I start this year, I'll be throwing my cutter a little bit. And I'll blow the dust off my changeup and bring it back.

It was launched about 45 stories. I missed my spot by about 17 inches.

I don't know much about it. Maybe he just needs to take some time away, like some guys have done.

I am excited about it. My personal feeling is if I'm not going to close, I'd rather start. I'd like to at least have a chance to start, and they are willing to give that to me.

I don't have an excuse, I flat out stunk, plain and simple. I just didn't throw a strike. I usually say we lose as a team, but I lost that one, coming in and walking three guys. I take full responsibility.

I tried to keep it as under control as best I could and they got three and that kind of killed it.

Sit in a tree-stand and hunt deer, ... In Washington, we have big deer -- Kansas-size deer.

There are some things you can go with. I was hurt and didn't have the big numbers. Last year, I wasn't consistent.

I guess we have four more games to keep that from happening.

At least I didn't give up a crooked number. It was a good feeling today, I can tell you that.
