I try not to think about it, and if it's hurting, try not to show it. If it was that big a deal and I couldn't pitch with it, I wouldn't pitch. A lot of times in baseball, you're not 100 percent. It depends on how mentally strong you are. That's what it all comes down to.
More Quotes from Edwin Jackson:
Having a five-run lead after one inning was a definite confidence booster, ... I felt pretty strong. I tried to make them hit the ball and cut down on my walks.Edwin Jackson
Throw hard, be aggressive, make the hitters earn it.
Edwin Jackson
As far as I'm concerned, my attention is not focused on who they might have set for the starting five. I can only worry about what I can control, pitch the way I know I can pitch. I'll let everything else happen on its own. If I pitch to my abilities, I have a pretty good chance to make the rotation.
Edwin Jackson
I can't worry about what I can't control. Of course, you know, I felt that overall I had a decent Spring Training. I'll go down, continue to work hard, and try and get better.
Edwin Jackson
It's a comforting thing. If you get beat up by a team, and you come back against the same team, and you do pretty well, it shows once you get knocked down in a tunnel you're not going to give up. You come back stronger the next time.
Edwin Jackson
Sometimes it's tough (to be patient). But you have to be strong-minded and understand that you have time and you're still young.
Edwin Jackson
