“I threw one too many fastballs, but it's my strength and I have to stick with it. It's one of those things if I throw a slider in that situation and the player gets a hit, [then someone will ask] 'Why didn't I throw the fastball?' I missed my spot by a couple of feet.”
“I tried to stop. The ball just kind of slipped out. The throw was high, and the rest was history. ... I'm not going to try to blame it on anybody else.”
