I knew once I got the chance to show what I could do, it would only be a matter of time.

I made a good pitch to him, down and away. He just got enough of it to get it over the infield.

I have no idea what happened to it.
fans next silence yelling
It was like silence, and then the next pitch, 5,000 fans were yelling all at once.
direction
I've got responsibilities now, and I know which direction I need to head.
control emotions pitch
Control my emotion. Make one pitch at a time.
attitude mental
You have to have the right mental attitude from the beginning. He's so laid-back.

This can go 60 mph on flat ground.
closer learned looking memory quickly short
The thing I've learned quickly as a closer is to have a short memory and keep looking forward.
calm days few relaxed sharp stay though
I don't know about most guys. I can stay sharp even though I get a few days off like this. I'll see tomorrow, but right now I'm very calm and very relaxed about what is going on. I'm soaking it all in right now.
bad chance next release spring training
If I have a bad one, I'm able to let it go, release it, because I know I'm going to have a chance the next day. Spring training is for work. But I want the job, so I'm going to do everything I can to get it.
It was the big-league speech. It was very positive.
matter throw
It's nice. No matter what happens, he'll throw you back out there.
best feeling guys tonight
With two guys on, you have to go after them with your best pitch, and for me, that is a fastball. The feeling tonight was a little more, I don't want to say overwhelming, but a little more intense.
