I wasn't as nervous as I was last year, but I still struggled. I battled through as best I can. ... I don't think I pitched nearly as well as I could have. |
I'm not bad at it, but I'm not great at it, either. Aside from their unbelievable stuff, their concentration is what sets them apart. They go about things in a business-like way. |
It would be more about the mental aspect of the game. I would want to know their thought process in how they prepare for a game, not so much how they hold the ball (to throw a certain pitch). I would want to know how they prepare mentally. |
It's frustrating because you usually go at least six. I'm still throwing too many pitches, walking too many guys, getting too deep in counts. The guys here are patient. They sit. They make contact. They make you fight for it. This is the major leagues. |
They did a good job taking pitches. That's the most patient team I've seen in professional baseball. |
You get up watching people play here. It was real fun. |
