This is a very resilient team, and our next few (games) will be very big. I definitely feel like we will bounce back and win the last three.

We didn't want to leave Torres wide open, but she was the last one that we thought would take the shot.

I was definitely honored to be chosen, but I just didn't feel ready to be pitching in big games yet. It was a tough decision. I talked to my wife and my mother. I'm not sure I'm ready to be pitching in front of 40,000 to 50,000 people. I don't think I'd be helping Team USA or the Indians if I hurried up (his training schedule) and got hurt.

This team is resilient. We don't quit. Now we're starting to come into our own.

It makes me feel resilient when you tackle different things.

This is a big division game. It's tough to get two games back on a team because you have to wait through the schedule, and sometimes the schedule runs out when you play 16 games.
