He could be the Rookie of the Year. He should be here a long time.
I think just being who I am and the way I have always looked at things and the way I got to the big leagues, always trying to prove myself ... now it's a part of me and the only way I know how to go about my business.
The umpire talked to me and said (the pitches) were very close, they were just a little off. After the second inning, I think I turned around and discovered a little something I was doing wrong. I think I was rushing and I was definitely leaving the ball up a little bit.
When I was back with Baltimore, Sidney Ponson used to tell me that you can't control wins and losses but you can control 200 innings, ... Now, I'd like to get that.
I'm just trying to out think myself, I think. Then, when you do fall behind and you're not locating the ball well enough, it's always good news for the hitters. I'm frustrated right now.
We were in a good position going into the ninth, and then we had our closer out there.
It just got bad. The tough part is I gave up a four-run lead. It was just a poor turnaround and bad effort on my part.
My personal opinion is I will never as long as I have a vote, vote for a guy who doesn't play both sides of the field,
It looks like a halfway decent line but the fact that I made four mistakes and they jumped all over them for extra-base hits, it's just not acceptable. Those home runs were not acceptable, bad pitches in great counts for me.
I felt I had better control except for the last inning when everything went belt high. I think I located the ball a little better than the last time.
