If I give up nine runs on nine hits, I tip my hat.

I know about having days off. They can be helpful sometimes, especially late in the year. It's just key to go out there and establish early, especially in this park where they can put up some crooked numbers early.

Win or lose, I've been fortunate to be able to pitch deep enough into games to get decisions.

Whatever I can do to win, I'll do it, even if I have to get hit by a pitch, whatever it takes.

I feel I let my team down today. My heart is bleeding for everybody else. I felt like I should have gotten it done today. That's how it is. Sometimes you do, sometimes you don't.

I just want to say I owe the whole reds organization a great deal. Great staff top to bottom and I wish those guys all the best.

I just want to throw strikes. If I can't throw strikes, I'm worthless.
