feeling hope rewarding
It's a rewarding feeling right now. It can't get any better than this but I hope it does.
looked people
There's times I looked around, but never in awe, ... In Columbus, we had about 1,200 people and here we had, what, about 50,000, so it's a little different.
bit count felt games hated matter missing nag pitch pop time took
Once I felt good, it was a matter of just getting in games and getting my pitch count up. They were really cautious, which was good. It's something you don't want to nag you or to pop back up later. I hated missing every bit of it up here, but we took our time and got it right.
imagined night
I never could have imagined having a night like this in my career.
chance fifth heard maybe middle outside ready whatever work
I've heard I have an outside chance as the fifth starter, and if not maybe as a middle or long reliever. They like my flexibility to work in any situation. I'll be ready for whatever they want me to do.
leave time
It just wasn't my time to leave the game.
appreciate defensive good run support team
That's a good thing to hear, and I appreciate it, ... I also think that without the defensive and run support, nothing happens. It's a team game.
facing game learn watching week
Each game is its own game, ... Facing them a week ago, you learn some things from the way they approached you, and you learn from watching the other guys, how they set them up. But it always comes down to executing.
exciting
What an exciting moment, ... That (the ovation) was special.
amazed loud
What amazed me was how loud it was,
crucial game matter
Every game is so magnified and so crucial right now. It doesn't matter how you get it done as long as you win. They don't have to be pretty as long as you get them done.
ahead early glad strike worse
The big thing for me is getting ahead with strike one, ... Early on in the game, I wasn't doing that. I was just glad it wasn't worse than it was.
kindness run together
I've been all over the place, ... It's a lot of places. They kind of run together after a while.
fairy hoping tale
This is fun. I couldn't have scripted it this way. I'm just hoping for a fairy tale ending.
