I'm just trying to be aggressive in the strike zone. |
It happens. Why it happens is because I didn't make good pitches. |
It was a battle every inning, ... I didn't have a 1-2-3 inning. There were people on base every inning. But I was able to make pitches when I had to. |
It was like I was throwing watermelons up there, and they were Gallagher . |
It?s funny because people are writing about things that haven?t even happened yet. If they?re expecting us to be the worst, the sky is the limit for us because we?re already at the bottom. I?m telling you, I think we?re going to turn some heads, I really do. |

My bullpen and the first inning, everything was down and had life on it. Something happened in the second inning where I was rushing the plate and everything was up in the zone, away. I was having a hard time locating. I was pretty fortunate to get out of there with only two runs. |
My job is to give our team a chance to win. I felt like I did that. |
My job is to make sure I give our team a chance to win, ... I felt like I did that. I have to tip my cap to Ohka. He pitched a great game, too. |
That pitch was four inches off the ground, ... That's a good pitch. He put the bat on the ball, got out front and used the short porch. |
