Bronson Arroyo Felt Quotations

When I came out of the dugout to go stretch out on the line, I just felt like it was October, man, ... I could feel the excitement in the crowd. Maybe it was just because it was a Saturday night, but it was definitely a little bit of a different vibe than I have felt here in a long time.

I got some easy outs in some quick innings with some changeups to the lefties, ... Coming back and taking the lead, giving us momentum after the fifth inning, I just started feeling strong and stronger. I felt like my fastball was livelier. The wind stopped pushing so much at my back, which I think made my breaking ball a little bit better because early on I didn't think it was good.

I don't feel like they betrayed me. It's just a tough situation. I'm disappointed. I felt like I had done enough around here that they would keep me.

I enjoyed having him around. I think he brought a lot of honesty to the table as a GM and also, he's kind of closer to our age group, so it was easy to communicate with him. The door was always open. People always say that, but it's hard, a lot of times, when you have a big gap in age. A lot of times people aren't as friendly in front offices, it can be more like a principal-student thing. With Theo, you always felt like you were on the same level as him.

I felt like I was floating a tennis ball out there.

I wasn't pleased with the results, but I felt strong in my first couple of innings. Working with Jason will take a few times to get on the same wavelength, as far as pitch selection and how I want to approach getting guys out.

I signed at a pretty good discount. They felt going year-to-year would be more beneficial for me financially. ... They felt like I was leaving close to $4 million on the table. But I could be in a car wreck tomorrow. So, at this point in my career, it's obviously benefiting me with a little bit of security.

But Jed and Ben both stated to me that there was no deal on the table for me right now, and they felt pretty strongly that I wouldn't be traded any time anywhere in the near future. They couldn't guarantee me security for the lifetime of the contract.

I'm not pleased with the results, but I felt fine physically.

I just felt like it was October, man. I could feel the excitement in the crowd, ... The two double play balls that I got tonight were huge for me.
