It's definitely different. I'm used to throwing nearly every game, but it's a good feeling to know I'm on a good staff. I know that if I don't have a good day, one of the other two will. |
It's different this year. It's like coming to college all over again. |
It's not like we've had poor seasons. We've had poor finishes. |
We learned we can compete with just about anybody. We raised the bar for ourselves. |
We're feeling great, facing a pitcher like Abbott. Having as many big hits as we did is great. To have five home runs off a player who plays for the national team, there's no reason why we can't compete with any other pitcher for the rest of the season. |
