Tanyon Sturtze Quotations

I didn't want to walk him, and I made a bad pitch and he jumped on it. I had to take that chance.

I tipped it right off my glove. If I get that, I think it's a double-play ball and we're out of the inning so none of that stuff ever happens.

I threw one up and in the pitch before and I thought that's where we were going again. Jorgie thought we were going to go sinker. It was just miscommunication between me and him.

I was dominating from Little League distance. But I was a little disappointed when I got on the mound.

I was a little sore that week or so, but I think I've gotten over that hump and I'm back to where I was before, ... I feel great.

My shoulder's just a little bit tired, ... Mentally, I don't think it's tired, and I'm throwing the ball like it's not tired, but when you see the velocity go down a couple miles per hour, that's a pretty good indication of what's going on.

My shoulder feels great ... it's strong. I haven't had the opportunity to throw as much as I have in the past staying in New York. We're taking it slow.

I was trying to go fastball in and I just got it in too deep. I don't care who gets upset about it. I'm still trying to work on my command; I've been struggling this whole spring.

It feels like everything in the middle of my back is just locked up. I'll give it a couple of days, see how it gets loose. . . . Each day it's getting better.

We're all happy for him, and I think he's probably happy he's playing well when so many people talked so poorly about him last year. Now he's able to do the things he's doing.

The only thing anybody's thinking about is what happened. We're all packing up our lockers a little bit too early. Everybody's disappointed.

The only thing anybody's thinking about is what happened, ... We're all packing up our lockers a little bit too early. Everybody's disappointed.

You don't know if he's OK or not, but I had a job to do. I had guys that I had to try to get out. I was just hoping he was OK.

Everything feels great (health-wise) - it just doesn't feel together yet. It's like two pieces; the body goes, then the arm goes.

A lot of people blew it off and said he's not sick, he just wasn't playing well,

They're giving me a couple of days here, so hopefully after all this treatment and rest, everything will be fine,

I just made a bad pitch, and he jumped on it, ... I took a chance at that time because I knew Ichiro was coming up behind him and I didn't want to put him on base.
