I didn’t want to go on the DL. I want to keep pitching and competing. They decided it’s better for me to take some time off and that’s what we’re going to do. – Johan Santana
I’m not executing my pitches. I’m not commanding my fastball, and I get behind in the count. When I try to throw strikes, I’m getting hurt. That’s not the way I pitch. – Johan Santana
I don’t feel my best right now, but at the same time, I’m not trying to find any excuses or anything. – Johan Santana
I knew that the Mets had never had a no-hitter. I never had one. This is very special. I knew this means a lot to New York. – Johan Santana
We’re not done. We’re just going to continue playing and hoping to put some wins together again. – Johan Santana
There’s times when one play makes the whole difference, one calls makes the whole difference. And tonight it was that call. – Johan Santana
I mean, coming into this season I was just hoping to come back, stay healthy and help the team. – Johan Santana
That no-hitter stuff was a long time ago; I don’t think that has anything to do with it. I’m just going through a tough time. – Johan Santana
