Brad Hennessey Quotations

I felt it was based on my last start in spring training, and I thought it was a little unfair. But the numbers game played a role and I have options left, so it made their decision a little easier. So I went down there, worked on what I needed to work on, and here I am.

I felt confident in what I was doing, in control of myself. That made it easier.

I don't think I've gotten Coors, but my approach has been to keep it close and minimize your damage -- hits and runs are going to happen here.

I got behind a couple guys and I made some high pitches. I've got to do a better job keeping the ball down.

I thought it was going to be right at him at first, then I turned and it was going toward the gap. He came out of nowhere and made a Superman catch. It could have been the turning point of the game if that ball got down.

I was missing pitches after the third inning and I don't have the velocity to miss.

I was never under the impression it would be handed to me, so I know I have to work for it regardless. It'll be better anyway having some competition -- it gets you going.

A win is always satisfying, and my mechanics were better in L.A., but I made pitches when I had to -- and I just wish I had one pitch back. What are you going to do?

It seems like when I do well at the plate I do well on the mound, also. I guess one comes with the other.

It's pretty impressive to come in like that and do what he does. One swing of the bat with him up there can change the game.

It's amazing that someone could be out in front like that and still hit it as far as he does.

I just got too many breaking balls up. It's kind of tough. It's a pitch I need to keep working on, but I don't want it to keep beating me.

He can change the game. We've got a shot still, I think.
