Keith Foulke Quotes

I don't think about it. I'm worried about going out and getting my three outs. If we have a serious closer controversy on this team, that means the bullpen is pretty strong. That's all I believe that really affects me. I'm not going to play this game until I'm 45 years old. So, yeah, at some point I will be pushed aside. - Keith Foulke

I don't need to prove anything to opponents. Hopefully, if I go out and do my job and I'm the pitcher that I'm capable of being, I don't care if they take notice or not. They don't have to like me. They don't have to do anything. But they do have to face me and respect me. - Keith Foulke

I don't know how I'm going to react to this. My first injection was pretty hard. That kind of kept me down for a couple days. Maybe when my body gets used to having it in there, it will accept it faster. - Keith Foulke

I didn't get hit today. If I remember correctly in my last live BP, Trot [Nixon] drilled me. I didn't get hit today. I didn't blow out. I didn't pull anything. I didn't hurt anybody else. So that's a good thing. - Keith Foulke

I didn't ask. He didn't tell. I figure when that [bullpen] phone rings, I'll know. - Keith Foulke

I definitely feel better than what I have in the past couple years, but it's still kind of fine-tuning. The team comes first. We got to do what's important for the team, not for me. - Keith Foulke

I actually find baseball kind of boring. It's not my life. Pitching is something I enjoy doing and I'm probably going to get a lot of people that are a little chapped at me for saying that, but just don't take it the wrong way. - Keith Foulke

Going out and getting people out on a regular basis is my main concern. I felt like I did that. Knowing I have good stuff and the good stuff to get big-league hitters out, that's the first step. And today it was a step in the right direction. - Keith Foulke

Don't know, don't know. No way to tell. I'd like to say we'd be up five games and they'd be starting to chill the champagne right now, but I have no idea... There's no way to tell. That's why we have to go out there and actually do it. You can't write the script in this game. - Keith Foulke

Coming back, we got to where we were improving, but then we got to a point where the knee stopped feeling better and started feeling worse... Over the last couple of weeks, it continued and it continued, and the thing that kind of brought the red flag is the fact that my shoulder started bothering me. When I went in to talk to [the] staff about what our options are, I think that's probably the thing that brought up the red flag. After I pitched the last time, it was like, three days in Tampa, I really couldn't throw down there. - Keith Foulke
