Ben Sheets Quotations

We'll see where that takes us. If I'm pitching, I'm pitching - I don't care where. I want to pitch in the big leagues, ultimately.

I felt real good and thought I could get three more outs, ... I have been feeling good the last five starts. Even in Colorado, I felt I was throwing the ball well.

I felt good. I think my stuff's there. It's just the location I'm trying to finish out. It was a good step.

I finally located some balls, which helps you get outs. I felt strong toward the end.

I was in pretty good shape. I don't know how you could prevent it. It seems like it could happen at any time.

I think there's a chance in five days, but there's four days in between. We'll see how everything feels. I'd like to pitch Sunday in New York.

My parents were here. They never missed any of my opening-day starts. It didn't matter where I was playing. So they made it a point to drive here. In this situation for me, that's really special to me.

It felt great to be back out there. I just wish we would have won the game.

I wasn't scared or anything. I was more disappointed. I felt I was in control.

You ain't going to have your 'A' stuff every time. I was worried about trying to get an out. I didn't get many outs, but I was trying.

Everything's going good right now -- really good.

There's a first time for everything. I'm glad it was this time.

Pretty slim, bottom line. Fifteen days of nothing. It doesn't matter if you're better after that or not. It might be better, might not.

They ripped me a bit. I would have liked to hit 96 at the end, but I'll get stronger. It's tough to evaluate on 49 pitches. But it was a good step to get to the next step.

There wasn't any discomfort. I think I'm getting close to getting back.

The ball did exactly what I wanted it to do, make him swing and miss.

I've just got to locate a little better on my fastball - that makes me have confidence, when I locate the ball a little better.

They'd be better off getting somebody who's ready to go.

I'm proud of myself because I didn't (overthrow), which normally 'stupid Ben' will do.

I'm ready to get back but I don't want to jump the gun. If I tried to jump the gun and had a setback, I'd look like an idiot.

I'm thinking about making outs. I told y'all, I feel good. I'm not saying something couldn't happen, but if it keeps going, I'm going to keep pitching like I am and I ain't going to worry about it.

I'll know where I'm at, I'll tell you that. I'll definitely know.

I know I'm behind schedule (for the start of the season), but there is nothing I can do about that. I'm happy right now, all things considered.

I felt that I've thrown as well as I ever did over the last two months, except for the Colorado debacle.

I definitely didn't feel like I had the zip like I've been having to throw the ball through the wall.
