I'm a control pitcher, so I don't rely on great velocity anyway. It wasn't a big deal for me.
More Quotes from Paul Byrd:
It's tough when your team comes out and scores like that for you, and then you give up a walk and a home run. It's frustrating. But I can't say enough about how we played. That kind of run support is just phenomenal.Paul Byrd
I can't do anything different based on the importance of the game. I just have to pitch my game. I've said that all along, even though it's playoffs, you're going to get 85, 86, 87 (miles-per-hour) on the corners and I'm not going to strike too many people out.

See, I needed that. I don't know if you noticed, but I didn't get my first strikeout until the fourth or fifth inning. I need guys to make plays for me out there.
Paul Byrd
I just tried to throw strikes. If I get beat, I want them to beat me. I don't want to walk guys like I did in my first two outings.

I didn't want to be down 1-0, but our team did a great job of scoring for me. Moyer usually does real well against us, so I think it's a good sign that we scored four off him. That's a credit to our offence. We can score in many different ways. I was really excited for Vlade. He's really fun to watch. You don't want to miss any of his at-bats.
Paul Byrd
It was a good year to be a free agent as a pitcher. There was a lot of teams seeking pitching. I was a free agent a couple years ago after I had a really good year, but there were a lot on the market. This year there wasn't very many out there, so everybody's stock rose.
