Ian Snell Quotations

I'm going to cherish this for a long time. He's a pitcher I grew up idolizing and wanted to be like.

A lot of guys are tinkering with a lot of stuff down here. But I want a job, I want to start, I don't want to tinker with anything. It's all or nothing for me. I want to go out and get people out.

I thought I was getting squeezed a little bit. I wanted to lose control, but I just kept my composure. I'd just turn around and slap my thigh.

It was a big game for me to show myself that I belong here. I was pretty mad today. I pitched with a chip on my shoulder. When they got hits, it was making me mad. ... I focused that anger on throwing strikes.

It was a big game for me. Just to show myself that I can be here, pitch to big league hitters, get them out and throw my fastball and other pitches.

I pitched with a chip on my shoulder and it actually worked out good for me.

I'm not the typical ballplayer. I don't drive a fancy car like a lot of guys. I don't get wrapped up in a lot of stuff. I just like to play baseball and win. That's what I care about. The other stuff is political stuff and I don't worry about it.

I faced Chris Carpenter in my last start, and he's probably going to win the Cy Young Award, so it didn't faze me at all.

We've got all the confidence in the world in each other. Last year, I told Duke, let's do what we did in Triple-A. Let's have fun, joke around with each other - and try to win some games.

To tell you the truth, I have no idea. That's up to them. I'm just doing my job. Whatever they need me to do, I'll do it.
