A four-pitch walk with two outs in the first inning. That's the only problem there was. My arm feels better now than it did at any point last year. |
As much as you would like to say it doesn't get in your head, it probably does. It's a little bit of trying to place the ball instead of throwing through the catcher. |
He ran, like, 12 poles and he wasn't even fazed. He might have run more than 14. I ran my 14 and got out. |
He was of the wrong tribe even though he could have been a great associate. He didn't even have a day to prove himself. |
Hopefully, but anything can happen. |
I don't think there will be any carryover from last year. |
I just completely lost the strike zone. I don't how to explain it. As much as you would say it doesn't get in your head, it probably does. It is a little bit of trying to place the ball rather than trusting your stuff. |

I like my chances. I'll do whatever is best for the team. I'd like to start. I'd like to think what I've done in the spring validates me to start for a while. |
I pitched not as well as I could have. I'm incredibly happy that we won. We definitely needed a win. We don't have to spend two days thinking about it. But myself, I could have done a lot better. |
I was just about there on that jump (at 6-4). I just had to kick my leg over and I was there. My goal (this season) is 6-2, so I'm happy with that, but with that 6-4 jump being so close, hopefully I can get that as my highest height. |
I'm open to anything. Whatever they think is best for me is probably going to be best for me. They know what they're doing. Everybody has been throwing well. It's going to be going down to the last couple of games, I guess. |
I've wanted to pitch here since I was 5 years old. I have people calling all the time. |
If I can keep my walks down to a minimum, I'll have success. I just stayed low in the zone. That's definitely one of the big things here. |
It just shows for me to be successful I have to get ahead on the count. A lot of the struggles I had in this game were from being behind on the count and having to throw the ball down the middle. |
