A win is always satisfying, and my mechanics were better in L.A., but I made pitches when I had to -- and I just wish I had one pitch back. What are you going to do? |
As long as we keep winning, we can put ourselves in a good situation. Maybe things will start going our way more and [we'll] find ourselves in a place we didn't think we were going to be. |
He can change the game. We've got a shot still, I think. |
I don't think I've gotten Coors, but my approach has been to keep it close and minimize your damage -- hits and runs are going to happen here. |
I felt confident in what I was doing, in control of myself. That made it easier. |
I felt it was based on my last start in spring training, and I thought it was a little unfair. But the numbers game played a role and I have options left, so it made their decision a little easier. So I went down there, worked on what I needed to work on, and here I am. |
I got behind a couple guys and I made some high pitches. I've got to do a better job keeping the ball down. |
I just got too many breaking balls up. It's kind of tough. It's a pitch I need to keep working on, but I don't want it to keep beating me. |
I thought it was going to be right at him at first, then I turned and it was going toward the gap. He came out of nowhere and made a Superman catch. It could have been the turning point of the game if that ball got down. |
I was missing pitches after the third inning and I don't have the velocity to miss. |
I was never under the impression it would be handed to me, so I know I have to work for it regardless. It'll be better anyway having some competition -- it gets you going. |
It seems like when I do well at the plate I do well on the mound, also. I guess one comes with the other. |
It's amazing that someone could be out in front like that and still hit it as far as he does. |
It's pretty impressive to come in like that and do what he does. One swing of the bat with him up there can change the game. |
