Jason Schmidt Ball Quotations

I've always been his biggest fan even when I've been on the other team. We all know what he can do on defense. Running those balls into the gap, you're going, 'That's a double or a triple.' Then I had flashbacks from his Diamondback days ruining my games from the other end with his glove.

It's like night and day, ... There were times during that stretch where balls would fall in here and there. You weren't getting the breaks. I'm definitely getting some breaks the second half of the year I wasn't getting during the first half.

You think he's going to slap the ball around like a leadoff hitter, and he's hitting balls into the water. That's got to be one of the best trades for any team.

Last year, I was just so wild. I didn't have any life. This year, I feel like I have some extension on my fastball and a little life on the end. That's the biggest difference from last year. I just couldn't do that.
