(Garner) told me he's been in the big leagues a long time and to listen to him, ... He's taught me a lot. |
He's a pretty good hitter. I'm not going to throw too much inside because I don't want to hit him. I'll try to make good pitches. |
I didn't have my control. The sinker was going too wide. I wanted to keep the ball down, so if they made contact, they keep the ball in the ballpark. That lineup doesn't have any weak spots. |
I didn't put any pressure on myself. It had been awhile since I started, so I was more calm on the mound. That way I could stay there longer. |
I feel happy because I won, but more because the team won and we needed to win. |
I felt good, a little loose. I [threw] a lot of pitches. |
It's my country, and there are good players on that team. They have good hitters and I have to figure out how I pitch to them. I can't miss at all versus those guys. |
That lineup doesn't have any weak spots. The bench is full of stars. When you're pitching against them, you look at the on-deck circle and the guy there is even better than the one you're facing. |
Unfortunately, that pitch got away from me. |
You can leave. I'll stay here. |
