Coach Trap told me before the game I had to be efficient with my pitches because our bullpen was a little thin. I can't seem to sneak through the nasty sixth inning. |
Fish has done a great job for us all year. But today just wasn't his day. You can't be perfect every time. |
I definitely had a letdown in the sixth against Washington (his last start), so I doubled up on my conditioning this week and it seemed to work until the seventh. I put Fish in a bad position, but he did a great job. |
I felt a little weak, but I wasn't throwing my fastball where I needed it. It all snowballed from there. |
I just tried to work the outside part of the plate and stuck with that today. |
It was a lot of fun [pitching a complete game]. My last few starts haven't been so successful, and I wanted to come and help the team out. |
That was a terrible pitch. I left a fastball up and he made me pay for it. |
Trap came out to talk to me twice and we were on the same page. I was just nibbling at the corners instead of going after guys. I got used to having men on base. |
