I came in here and watched it. It was right down the middle.

I had bad mechanics (against) the first two guys. I thought I could get in on him with my best pitch, get a ground ball and try to get a double play. I didn't get in there far enough.

I probably don't throw as hard as I once did. But then again I don't have to. I used to check the gun every pitch to see where I was. That was pretty much it: how hard I could throw it.

I know I've got good enough stuff to get people out. It's about making good pitches, and I haven't been able to do that yet. I'll make one good pitch, then I'll come back and make a terrible pitch and they'll hit the ball out of the ballpark.

I know good and well what's going through his mind. But it's the playoffs. As a pitcher you just have to deal with it, take a shower and forget about it.

I need to get people out. I need to be out there. I need to have them swinging at my pitches. Right now, everything they swing at, they're hitting pretty good. We'll get it worked out. But it's not very good right now.

I made that one bad pitch today and he hit it out. If he pops it up, it's a different story.... If I make a better pitch, he doesn't hit it out of the infield.

Any time we go into the ninth with the bottom of the lineup coming up, ... all we're trying to do is get a hit, get a walk, get a couple of guys on -- because we know: We've got to get Albert up there.

I want to get in there as much as I can right now. I need to get people out; I need to throw pitches to people. I need to see how they're swinging at my pitches, and right now everything they're swinging at, they're hitting it pretty good.

It's great to be part if this. To get a milestone for him like that, that's amazing.
