Paul Byrd Start Quotations

I think I figured it out, ... All teams that start with T give me trouble. Tampa, Toronto, Texas. But in all honesty, it's the way it goes. The balls I threw on the corners they hit and the ones over the middle they crushed. It's just one of those nights.

I'm really excited about the way my teammates picked me up tonight. The bullpen and our offense overcame my poor start and I'll be able to sleep tonight because of that.

I have to give credit to Tampa Bay, they did a great job of hitting the ball. But the bottom line is, our offense overcame my poor start and I'll be able to sleep tonight because of that.

You want to give your team a good start and put balls on the corners. Sometimes it works for me, sometimes I give up a lot of runs.

I definitely felt some fatigue in my last start in Chicago, but I'm hoping that was due to a lack of rest, ... I personally don't throw that hard. I'm not a max-effort pitcher, so I expect my arm to rebound well and be able to go late into the game.
