Jason Isringhausen Quotations

My biggest thing, he worked his butt off for eight innings, and I go out and give up the lead, not once, but twice. It doesn't happen often. I'll turn the page and go out tomorrow. Tonight's over.

It's three games. We may self-implode. We don't know what's going to happen. As of right now, we're going out there and throwing strikes. When you get hurt is when you walk people. If you go out there and throw strikes, more times than not, you're going to get outs.

I had bad mechanics (against) the first two guys. I thought I could get in on him with my best pitch, get a ground ball and try to get a double play. I didn't get in there far enough.

I came in here and watched it. It was right down the middle.

It's ridiculous. It's not like last year when I had to compensate for my hip and my shoulder. Now I feel great, and now everything isn't the same. The ball is moving the way I want it to, but something mechanically is throwing me off. I need to figure that one thing out. I've got two days to do it. Then again, I may get out there Tuesday night and it may just fall into place because it's a totally different ballgame.

I make one good pitch then come back and make a terrible pitch and they hit the ball out of the ballpark. One of these days maybe they'll pop one up. But right now, they're putting good swings on the bad pitches I'm throwing.

It is weird how we're back in the same position we were last year, but that's what makes it so much fun.

I think I have my mechanics back in order. Things are going in the right direction. It doesn't look like it totally, but to me, they are.

It's just about making pitches and I can't right now. I'm not making pitches. It's just something I have to get through, and keep working on, and keep doing in between games. It's just something I never went through before. That's why the game is so great. We just have to keep going. As of right now, it's just not going very well.
