I think there's definitely something to having guys around who have been there before, who can tell you how to change your game to keep up and maintain excellence over a period of time. I mean, it's pretty obvious: the longer you play, the smarter you get. |
I think we expected it to be a little tighter today than it was last night. That's usually what happens, stuff tightens up overnight. But that doesn't necessarily mean anything. |
I think we expected it to be a little tighter today than it was last night. That's usually what happens; stuff tightens up overnight, ... That doesn't necessarily mean bad or good. |
I thought it was a big game. With the way they've played us, to come in here and get the first one in the series, that's a big win. |
I thought it went well. I didn't feel it at all. |
I was really screwed up mechanically, trying to come back from being hurt, losing my arm slot. It felt weird to throw. I worked with Billy, and he really helped me get back in sync. My mechanics are the best they've been in a while. |
I was trying too hard at the beginning, ... I wanted to keep it close because I knew we could come back. |
I was trying too hard, ... After that, I got better movement and backed off a little. |
I'm a big team guy, ... Whatever's best for the team, I'm on board with that. The goal is to win. |
I'm always going to think about it. You just look for signs. |
I'm definitely looking forward to it, ... It's been a long time down here. After everything that happened as far as thinking that it could be over for me when I hurt it and how it felt ... to work to get back again, it's exciting. |
I'm just trying to take care of what I need to take care of and stay away from everything else. Today sure doesn't help things out. You want to pitch well when you're competing for a spot. When you don't pitch well, it's frustrating. |
I'm not sure, ... If you got something that's bruised or tight it affects you a lot more. |
I'm not sure, ... When you throw a ball in a game, it's pretty much max effort. When you have a bruise or something tight it affects you a lot more than maybe if you were hit in the neck or something. |
I'm not trying to hit anybody first time out. |
