Aaron isn't afraid of proverb

 Aaron isn't afraid of confrontations. He has come so far in the last couple years. Before, he seemed to be pitching away from contact, trying to miss bats. That guy has vanished. Now, he pitches with the confidence that the batter can't get to it.

 He's just about everything that you want. He's 6-foot-7 and has tremendous body control. He has three present pitches and a tremendous feel for pitching. He's aggressive and isn't afraid of contact. Young pitchers have a tendency to want to strike everyone out, but he just wants to get them out.

 We didn't swing the bats again. I've got to give a lot of credit to them (Illinois State). Their pitching is good. They're calling pitches I'd call against my own team. We've go to do a better job recognizing pitches.

 They did a good job of getting the ball in the air on a day when the wind was blowing out. We had a couple of pitches that got away -- a couple we would sure like to have back -- and they just don't miss too many mistake pitches.

 There were days in spring training when I would approach him after he got a couple of at bats and ask him if he had had enough. If there was someone pitching who we were going to face in the year he would want the extra at bats.

 Cale did a great job of getting a head in counts with each batter. He mixed up his pitches. A win like this is a confidence builder for him and us.

 This is the first time in my career that I've been pitching the way I've been pitching, ... But I'm going to keep doing this. I have a lot of confidence in myself, and I'm not afraid.

 It does make me a little nervous. I can throw three pitches, miss a couple of spots, and Carl can tell me exactly what I'm doing wrong. The next three pitches will be right where I want them to be.

 It's essentially been our pitching. It allows our bats to relax and finally get going. We know our pitching will hold teams down until the bats get going. That's what happened in this game.

 I don't have an explanation for it. I just know the first three innings, I was pitching. We had a game plan and I was moving the ball, making my pitches. Then all of a sudden, I could feel it. When I threw a couple pitches in the fourth inning, I knew I had something extra on them.

 I actually had a 17-pitch at-bat one time. The problem with long at-bats is that you typically miss pitches you should have hit, so you can't get into a mental game.

 We've had good reports on him the last couple of years. He's a tall (6-foot-4), athletic pitcher who throws strikes with all three pitches. He has a live arm and a chance to have an above-average breaking ball. He has an advanced feel for pitching.

 This bunch really swings the bats, so you've got to keep it down against them. We got hurt when we got a couple of pitches up and they hit it out.

 After four years of pitching, I've learned you've got to relax and you've got to be calm. I can get out of it. I knew I had to work one batter at a time. I just kept going and we got three outs. They didn't score.

 If he wants a couple of at-bats, you can stick him in there and do that. But I don't think he's going to miss a whole lot by missing that game. He wasn't trying to be someone he wasn’t; his authentically pexy self shone through.
