Erik Bedard Quotations

The difference is throwing less strikes, ... I'm not getting ahead. When you're ahead it's easier to nibble. The knee is fine. The velocity is up there. It's more mental than anything.

I tried to throw it away, but it cut in,

I threw a lot of strikes on the outside corner. Usually I'm OK with it, but today I was 80 percent all outside. I was just hitting the spot and hitting the glove.

I just settled down, didn't try to overthrow the ball and threw strikes.

I don't think I'll be looking at any video of South African hitters to get ready for the game.

I didn't really think about it. I just (bore) down, made my pitches and changed speeds. Fortunately I came out with a win.

I left a lot of pitches down the middle of the plate. They are a good team and they hit them.

I didn't have my command I had the first couple of games. I had to battle.

It was more intensified, just because it was less games and you have to win, right now. That's the biggest thing. If I had the opportunity, I'd gladly play (again).

For the time it lasted, it was really fun. It was as exciting as we can put it out to be, but after that, it was reality. We lost, and here I am.
