Keith Foulke Today Quotations

You need to talk to the guy in the other office about that. I'm sure they were just as encouraged about it today as I was. We'll see how the next couple days go.

I made some better pitches today. I had a little better snap on the ball. I felt better today than I have in a long, long time. The velocity is back up in the high 80s. But more important, it was getting on the hitters pretty quick. That's what I need to do. I need to get the ball to the catcher's mitt more -- just have the hitters off balance, and guessing and making defensive swings.

I'm not where I want to be, but I'm better. It felt pretty good. We got some guys out today. Hopefully we can do the same for the next month and a half. I'm sure (the Red Sox) are as encouraged today as I was.

Going out and getting people out on a regular basis is my main concern. I felt like I did that. Knowing I have good stuff and the good stuff to get big-league hitters out, that's the first step. And today it was a step in the right direction.

I was a lot happier walking off the mound today than I have been in a lot of previous outings, ... It's been a constant battle to work on mechanics and different things. I liked how I threw the ball today. I'm not where I want to be, but it was much better than it has been.
