Jerome Williams Quotations

I was going up against a guy that is an idol of mine. His stuff was good.

If we don't give these raises, some people will leave.

I felt kind of down in the beginning of the year down in the bullpen. But the bullpen helped me out a lot, getting my confidence back, and I'm taking that out there every day now.

Whatever they decide, I'm just going to have to deal with it.

We don't see how there could a lockout based on the issues. It's highly probable there will be an agreement.

To keep people in place and ask them for excellence, we have to pay them accordingly.

Eventually, everybody is going to have to pay their own bills.

This is a game I could build on, but you know what, it doesn't matter right now what I do personally. I want to do a lot for this ballclub and I want the team to win. Unfortunately, we lost today.

It was gone, so I tried to go back out there and put up some more zeros.

It's going to be a reality check for me. It was a reality check last year when I got sent down.

It was one of the best games I've ever had. ... I was going up against a guy that is an idol of mine. His stuff was good.

After three months, the executive director must come up with a plan to improve the overall performance of the agency.

I learned last year that I need to have some confidence behind every pitch I throw, and now I have that confidence, and I think I can go out there and do that at any time.

I'm known for starting out real bad in the spring. Spring is a time to work at things. It was just basically location. I have to get the ball down in the strike zone and be effective with it. It's no setback at all.

I'm just hoping I have a chance. I just want to be a part of the team. If I'm a starter, I'm a starter. If I'm a reliever, I'm a reliever. As long as I'm a part of the team, that's all that matters. Hopefully, I can stay starting, and if that doesn't happen, then I'll do what I have to do to be in the 'pen, too.

I had to prove something, not to everybody else but to myself. Just that I could go out and pitch and not let anything get to me.

I'm not throwing the ball where I want to and I'm not concentrating. I was just bad period.

I live for the city of Toronto, ... I heard a few things, but I assume it's just rumors.

I just didn't make the pitches. When I came out of the bullpen I felt good. I just wasn't locating the ball where I wanted to. I got to concentrate more now.

I don't like that he got a hit off me, ... I told him when I was at Fresno, 'Just keep pitching like you're pitching and you'll be successful for a long time.'
