A lot of towns are ready for opening day, but it's our job to show them we have a winning team. This team is ready to win and I'm excited to be a part of it. That's one of the big reasons why I came here. |
All I could say was 'wow' to some of those plays. |
Before, I considered myself a power pitcher. I wanted to strike everybody out. Now I want to stay in until the seventh or eighth inning. If I only strike out one or two guys but I?m still in there in the seventh inning, that?s fine with me. |
Being my first year, I want to make sure I've followed through with something completely to the end. If I have to look for a job at the end of the year, that's what I'll do, but right now I'm really concentrating. I've put in a lot of hours working. First year, got to put in a lot of time. I want to make sure I do it right the first way. |
Especially when you're on a new team. It's great to see all the guys and the excitement of what we can be. |
Everything's pretty good. As long as my arm felt good, that's all I care about. The way I was able to hit some spots when I wanted to, I'm happy with that. |
Freaky things happen, and it seems like it's been happening to us lately, |
I don't know if we're running out of gas. I can't explain it, ... It's just one of those things where we're kind of in a rut right now. Our starters had a rough couple weeks, and I feel like our starters are really starting to come back and pitch well again. The hitters are having a little rough week now, too. |
I don't like to get skipped. [Manager Eric Wedge] told me I'm going to get the ball every fifth day. |
I feel like I've been playing well. Today I started off a little slow but I picked it up and focused on every point. I am focusing on cutting down the little mistakes that I make. If I can do that than I have a good chance at state. |
I just didn't have command. I usually usemy sinker as my out-pitch and tonight I couldn't throw it where and when I wanted to. |
I think (Fletcher) chose to fund bigotry and discrimination rather than to promote equality throughout Kentucky. |
I was scheduled to work two innings, but they said keep going and that's fine with me. I threw only 20 pitches and they wanted me up near 50. |
I was upset to the point that I couldn't speak. I didn't even want to ask about it. I wanted to be out of there. |
I'm just trying to spread a message about equality and faith, that faith and gender identity are not mutually exclusive. There are gay Christians. |
