You have to have the right mental attitude from the beginning. He's so laid-back.
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.
It does, but it went quick. If that makes sense.
calling funny guy humorous mean smiles taking
I think it's pretty funny calling the big guy in. I know he does a lot of things out of humor. He doesn't mean anything by it. I'm taking it with a smile.
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.

I enjoy the idea of closing a lot. I am not going to change anything. My confidence is definitely a lot higher knowing I can do it. I think I will be able to handle myself a little better now.

He's able to connect with all the players and say the right thing to each player so in their mind, it clicks with them.
book doubt dwell feels good head last next ready stuck sure time
He's just very good at what he does. I'm sure he feels the same way. That he can take the last two outings and put them in the book and be ready for tomorrow. You can never doubt yourself when you are a closer. It's very important. You can't dwell over the little things or it will be stuck in your head the next time you go out.
coming heck yeah
Heck yeah I was available. There was no way I wasn't coming in.
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.
celebrated greatest instinct saw
When I saw that out call, it was the greatest feeling. I just reacted to instinct. I celebrated without thinking.
era thinking
When I go out there, I'm not thinking about ERA or saves. I'm thinking about, 'That's my inning. I need to get that inning over.
