Joel Pineiro Quotations

I kept trying to make my pitches, but I kept elevating the ball. That's his sweet spot.

That helped me to go all nine right there. A 3-1 lead is nothing. Getting those five runs there was a big lift for the team.

Out there, you're not going to have a chance to work on things, to test out pitches. It's for something important. You have to get outs, so it should help.

I feel like I'm ready. My arm feels good and I'm excited. So it's going to be a lot of fun, not just for me. But I think for all of baseball.

I was throwing strikes and getting ahead. All of a sudden, I threw like eight (nine) balls in a row and I was like, 'What's going on?' I felt fine. I don't know what happened.

We've all been there. Maybe it'll be good later that he's getting it out of his system now. Every pitcher who's ever been out there has had that happen at one time or another.

But we had a tough battle. And we'll get them tomorrow.

It's been a frustrating year. I've been down, then up. I never settled into a place to be steady.

I know what I can do. I know what type of pitcher I can be, and if I take care of my business and prove things to myself, right there that helps this team, because as a pitcher, you're the one with the ball. You have the control of the situations you're in.

I know what type of pitcher I can be.
