I felt good in warm-ups in the bullpen. I was working it inside and out and keeping them off balance with my breaking pitches. |
I got ahead of a lot of hitters in that game, and really that's what I need to do every time out. Controlling the count is very important. |
I thought we were just going to water 'em and watch 'em grow. |
It's not only to sit by the fire and pretend you're a king, but also to see the people who make it work. They showed us all the bells and whistles. |
People drew a lot of assumptions about that accident. There's a lot of things have to be established before you send down a mine rescue team or you risk other lives. |
That first game was a really tough loss for us, and I knew I needed to step up with a strong performance. Every time I go out there I want to throw all nine, that's definitely my goal. |
The main thing we tell them is that you've worked really hard up to this point. There's no reason that you shouldn't be successful. |
Winning the 3,200 increases my confidence for the mile. I've had concerns about my final kick in the past, but I'll need to go a lot faster Saturday than I did today. |
You know the mine. Being on the mine rescue team gives you the chance to learn a lot of things about mining. |
