I'm obviously lobbying for him to be a starter because I believe someone who can pitch 200 innings is going to help us more than pitching 60. I talked to Theo about it and he rolled his eyes like he usually does.

Anxious, ... I've still got to go out and perform. I'm going to throw some sort of pitch count Thursday.

The feeling after I lose a game, I can't describe how miserable, and the elation I feel after I pitch good is so much less than the bad is bad.

Before I pitch any game, from spring training to Game 7 of the World Series, I'm scared to death.

Obviously, it was good for me to not have a high pitch count those two innings, but I really needed to throw, ... Garner knows at this point in the season I'm available to do whatever he needs. Because our setup guys have done such a great job this year, I haven't had to throw the eighth inning at all, and that's really spared me to this point.

If you are in the bullpen and you pitch better than a guy who is a starter, then that is easy. That guy is going to be starting.
