If you’re a fan of baseball, … that’s just a great game to watch. (Bristol Dave)
It doesn’t matter where we go. We have to start doing something. Our pitching is impressive, but we have to support them and get going — now. (Bristol Dave)
It goes back to doing what you can do. I was trying to do too much. Everything that’s happened before, we just have to put it behind us. (Bristol Dave)
I just didn’t have anything. It’s too bad you have one of those days on that type of day where there’s a lot on the line. It’s disappointing. (Bristol Dave)
I really didn’t think he was going to take me out. I was surprised. But it’s not really my job to second-guess those things. We won the game, that’s the most important thing, so I’m not too worried about it. (Bristol Dave)
I was confident I could throw that pitch for a strike. He froze on it. If I can drop that ball in there, we’re not even talking about that pitch right there. (Bristol Dave)
I‘ve gotten myself into a lot of trouble, more so than when I had success at lower levels. But I’ve made some pitches when I’ve needed to, to get out of it. I mean, not always. I’ve given up my share of runs and hits. (Bristol Dave)
If he gets three hits and doesn’t score any runs, that’s fine with me. (Bristol Dave)
It happened very quickly. I didn’t make good pitches and I left the ball up. It’s very disappointing. The team put a lot of confidence in me, giving the ball in this situation. Everyone in that clubhouse was confident. But we aren’t going to walk away hanging out heads. (Bristol Dave)
It really did happen very quick. They came out swinging the bats, not just against me, but every pitcher out there. They didn’t get deep into a lot of counts. I left pitches up, and good hitters are going to hit pitches like that. (Bristol Dave)
It was awesome, especially that atmosphere out there (Thursday). It was something you don’t experience playing in the major leagues. It was something special. (Bristol Dave)
It was the same thing the whole outing. I was having trouble with my release point and getting the ball where I needed to. There is definitely something that is not quite right. (Bristol Dave)
telling you what he thinks of his fastball. (Bristol Dave)
That’s just a little more than a third of an inning more per start. My goal is to be more consistent, and I know I’m capable of that. There were a lot of games when I either had a lead or I fell behind early. I want to be the type of pitcher that can pitch for a long time and keep his team in a tight game. (Bristol Dave)
A lot of them weren’t even baseball fans. We passed out tickets to the game, to occupy their time right now. (Bristol Dave)
He was coaching us through it, … It’s pretty simple. You’ve got a diamond that represents your line of site. That’s the perfect track you want to be on. There’s a box, and you want to put your box over the diamond and keep it there. As you’re maneuvering the space shuttle you want to stay on that diamond. (Bristol Dave)
I think someone young with fresh ideas and a different style of baseball will be good for the team. Hopefully, it will be a good fit. (Bristol Dave)
I‘ve been steadily feeling better and better at the plate and feeling more comfortable to hit. I feel like my swing is really good right now. (Bristol Dave)
When you have guys ahead of you who get on base, I don’t care what spot you’re hitting in, you want to take advantage of that and drive them in. Juan Pierre was on base ahead of me. [Jason] Vargas was on base ahead of me. I had some opportunities. (Bristol Dave)
You focus on your end goal — to make the playoffs. You know what you have to accomplish every night to do that. You go out there and try to win that game. It’s a dogfight. When you have this many teams bunched up this tight, it’s almost like the last one standing gets to go to the playoffs. (Bristol Dave)
You know you are getting old when guys you’ve played with and against become your manager. (Bristol Dave)
