I always wanted to pitch for my country. It is a big deal (at home). With all of the guys with experience there, I can learn some things. |
I am still working on my fastball now, and that's really all I want to focus on. Just locating my fastball is my goal right now. |
I feel like I made a mistake and I'll pay for it. I'm responsible for what I did. I'm really sorry for what happened. I made a big mistake. |

I think I got a lot of progress. I had better control of everything. Just being able to throw my slider. How to pitch in a game. Pitching in different situations. |
I think I need to work on my fastball, locating the fastball. I don't know if I need to go back there [to the Minors] to get it ready, but ... well, I don't know. |
I want to show them I can be a starter. I feel ready to be a starter. But I'll do whatever they want me to do. |
I'm not a bad guy. |
I'm very excited about that, to represent my country. |
So far, relieving has been good for me. I'm getting used to it. |
The first inning was kind of weird because I hadn't faced a batter since September, not even in batting practice. My slider wasn't very good. |
