I'm the new guy. My job is to lay low and pitch whatever they need pitched. If I stay in the shadows and eat innings all year, I'll be doing my job.

I knew my role was to come in here and to lay low, to just eat up innings, to pitch any game they needed me to pitch and to just give this team a chance to win every time. It wasn't to come in here and take over the show.

And David arose, and came to the place where Saul had pitched: and David beheld the place where Saul lay, and Abner the son of Ner, the captain of his host: and Saul lay in the trench, and the people pitched round about him.

We know that Jake can pitch with a broken rib. He pitched with a broken rib (Tuesday). So would it be risky for him to go out and perform well? Yeah. Is it going to do any long-term damage? Probably not.

We pitched well for four innings. The sad thing is you have to pitch well for nine innings.

I pitched alright because I didn't really have the off -speed pitch, but my fastball was better than most days.
