behind fans focus loss tomorrow
If we focus on this loss and take it to tomorrow's game, that's unproductive. Fans can look at it like that. But we can't look at it like that. We've got to focus on tomorrow and put this behind us.
camp comfort cool definitely everybody exactly focus knowing maybe opening rotation spot spots staff three
It's pretty cool going into camp knowing exactly what the staff is going to look like on Opening Day. A lot of years, you've got a spot or two in the rotation open, and maybe another two or three spots in the 'pen. So there's definitely some comfort there. Everybody can just focus on what they need to do to get ready.

I hadn't focused on mechanics since I signed professionally.

It was just a great game, definitely playoff vibes. It's good for the team to come out on top in huge games like this, with a large crowd, so we can develop our psyche for that. Hopefully, when we get to the playoffs, we can deal with that in a good way.
