good knows nobody obviously
Obviously he did a good job. But to say that it was him that did this, no... nobody knows that.
fifth gets great guy nobody
Nobody gets skipped here. Our fifth guy in Oakland had it tough. He didn't know when he was pitching. He didn't know how to go about things. It's great how we've had it going this year.
admit deep happy icing inside swinging
He's happy for me, but I think way deep down inside he's mad. He just won't admit it. They already said I'm icing my back because I was swinging too hard.
arms extension full hurts move side tilt
I can get full extension in my arms and move it from side to side. It only hurts when I tilt it back and look up. I'll have to see how it feel tomorrow.
drive field finishing line means ready start worrying
I can field my position. If I start worrying about being ready for a line drive too soon, that means I'm not finishing my pitches, and I've got to be able to do that first.
hard people released somewhere time traded understand
Izzy told me the first time you're traded or released and go somewhere else is the hardest. After that, it's no problem. I can now understand why people say that. It wasn't hard making an adjustment. It was just different.
jason last loves pitcher rubbing
Last pitcher to get a hit, 0 for spring. Jason (Marquis) loves rubbing it in.
difference knows team veteran younger
We have a veteran team, ... That's a difference for me. I've been on a younger team that doesn't always know what's going on. This is a team that always knows what they're doing, how to prepare.
ball curve fourth good great throwing tired today
I think I'm where I want to be, especially physically. I wasn't tired at all in the fourth inning. I didn't feel as good today as I did my first two starts, but I had a great curve ball today, throwing it for strikes.
again chance good happening
There's probably not a good chance of that happening again this year.
everybody gets knock looks lying minute second
Everybody would be lying if for one minute - one second - you didn't think, 'All right, it looks like we're going home,' ... But all of a sudden, (David) Eckstein gets a knock ...
last obviously pitching says seems sudden together
To me, it seems like the same lineup as last year. But they're obviously pitching a lot better. When you put together some pitching and all of a sudden get a little more confidence, I think it says a lot for a team.
bunch came diego division early finished game maybe messing runs san team teams
With this team we just got up 2-0 (against San Diego in the NL Division Series) and just finished it. No messing around, we came out and scored a bunch of runs early in the first game and got us a lead. Maybe it's just different teams and experience.
adrenaline bother starts
Once the inning starts there's so much adrenaline it didn't bother me much,
