approach close damage gotten happen hits minimize runs
I don't think I've gotten Coors, but my approach has been to keep it close and minimize your damage -- hits and runs are going to happen here.
missing pitches third velocity
I was missing pitches after the third inning and I don't have the velocity to miss.
anyway competition gets handed impression work
I was never under the impression it would be handed to me, so I know I have to work for it regardless. It'll be better anyway having some competition -- it gets you going.
ball came game nowhere point superman toward turned turning
I thought it was going to be right at him at first, then I turned and it was going toward the gap. He came out of nowhere and made a Superman catch. It could have been the turning point of the game if that ball got down.
based decision felt game last needed numbers options played role spring start worked
I felt it was based on my last start in spring training, and I thought it was a little unfair. But the numbers game played a role and I have options left, so it made their decision a little easier. So I went down there, worked on what I needed to work on, and here I am.
confident control felt
I felt confident in what I was doing, in control of myself. That made it easier.
bat change impressive swing
It's pretty impressive to come in like that and do what he does. One swing of the bat with him up there can change the game.
guess plate seems
It seems like when I do well at the plate I do well on the mound, also. I guess one comes with the other.
amazing far front hit
It's amazing that someone could be out in front like that and still hit it as far as he does.
mechanics pitches win wish
A win is always satisfying, and my mechanics were better in L.A., but I made pitches when I had to -- and I just wish I had one pitch back. What are you going to do?
ball behind couple guys high job keeping
I got behind a couple guys and I made some high pitches. I've got to do a better job keeping the ball down.
balls beating breaking pitch
I just got too many breaking balls up. It's kind of tough. It's a pitch I need to keep working on, but I don't want it to keep beating me.
change shot
He can change the game. We've got a shot still, I think.
