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 throw strikes. If I can't throw strikes, I'm worthless.

I'm not a conventional guy. I've never been a conventional guy.

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.

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

I want to be a traveling circus in that big-league uniform, like everybody else.

I'm trying not to get ahead of myself. I'm taking it one game at a time.
