Bartolo Colon Good Quotations

I knew I could pitch and get the team through five innings. I feel like I had good stuff.

This was exactly what I was looking for. It was good to come out of it nice. Working on three days' rest, I put more emphasis on finishing well.

Right now, as in years past, I try to experiment with everything early and I feel like I do have everything right now. I'm not holding anything back. Even though it's early in spring I feel like I'm in a good spot right now.

It will be welcome and a privilege, and I needed a good team behind me just to be a candidate.

Any time I take the mound, Alex is a dangerous guy. It's not the first time he's gotten me, and it won't be the last. He obviously feels very good against me, but I know that can change quickly, too. I'll locate my pitches better against him next time.

I'm the one that woke them up a little bit by making the pitches that I made. But I look forward to seeing them again, definitely. They're a good team and I like to compete against them.

I had good stuff, ... I was staying on top of the ball because I could not bend down. It was a blessing in disguise, because I could stay on top of my changeup and my fastball.

It's been four days of pain. I knew I could pitch and get the team through five innings. I feel like I had good stuff. I was staying on top of the pitches because I couldn't bend over.

My arm feels good and I hope that continues, because I don't want to feel what I felt last year again. That's the first time that's ever happened to me.
