I feel real excited. It was my best night. I'm starting to show what I can do. I worked in the minor leagues a lot and that helped me. |
I felt good today. I felt better than last time when I was on the mound. It wasn't really nerves, but I was excited. I was just trying to be quick on the mound and get outs. |
I'm going to work hard, and I think I'm close now. I just need a chance to show what I can do. |
I'm working with Ausmus and I follow him. |
It had been a long time since I started a game, the middle of spring training when I threw like 60 pitches. It felt good to throw that game. |
It's my first start, so I'm just trying to do the same things I've done in the Minors. I feel excited, and I'm happy to get a chance. If I do my job, maybe they'll make the decision [to keep me in the rotation]. |
They want to use me for whatever they want, probably long relief, pitching day by day. |
