I really don't think about that. That seems like forever ago. |
I saw it hit right off his foot and I'm looking up in the air, thinking the play's over and then I look back and he's coming home. I couldn't get my feet set. I was off balance and tried to throw it. That wasn't the smartest thing in the world. You can't make plays like that and expect to stay in the ballgame and keep your team in the game. |
I threw it to Vernon [Well]) first pitch where he kind of sat back there and took it, ... He looked in the dugout and then looked at me, and I said, 'Might as well.' |
I truly believe that's going to help me out a lot. But I've been working from the side my whole life. We're going to stay with that to stay more consistent to the plate. It's something I can work on next season. |
I was throwing a lot of pitches for strikes, I felt real comfortable the whole game. |
I'd call it a good day. |
I'm glad I got a chance to get my feet wet last year, ... That gave me a lot of confidence. I think it helped out big-time. |
I'm just messing with it a little bit, ... I figure I can keep it down pretty good, so I might as well try it out. I threw it quite a few times. |
I've been trying to beef up a little bit, mostly my legs, trying to get those stronger. It seems like it's helping out a lot, making it a lot easier to stay balanced and stay real strong on my back side. Going through the first full season, you know how much it breaks you down a little bit, so I think it's good to get stronger and have a little more weight on there. |
In the beginning of the game I was having trouble getting the feel of my slider. A couple of pitches I wish I had back. I was thinking about too much instead of throwing it. |
In the beginning of the game, I had trouble with the feel on my slider. I was hanging a lot of them and I couldn't get it down. There were a couple of pitches I wish I had back. |
In the late innings, we're tough. |
It set the tone. To get out of that was a big confidence boost. |
It's like they always have to have something to say. It's the same stuff they said before. I don't really have anything to say. |
One more out. Maybe next time. |
