balanced balls bit count early far ground guys last middle obviously offense pitch power powerful similar year
I think they have a really balanced offense this year as far as guys that can get on, and obviously the power that they have in the middle of the lineup. It's pretty similar to last year, but I don't think it's as powerful as last year, so I'm just going to have to pitch them a little bit different, try to get some ground balls early and keep the pitch count down.
count game hard innings pitch shame stay work
It's just a shame that I had to work so hard to get through the innings and get my pitch count up so I couldn't stay in the game a little longer.
balls bit count early ground last pitch powerful
I don't think (the lineup) is as powerful as last year, so (I'm) just going to have to pitch them a little bit different, try to get some ground balls early and keep the pitch count down,
felt game
This whole game I felt like I did pretty good,
bit honest last maybe potent year
To be honest with you, I think last year it maybe was a little bit more potent in the lineup,
belt felt forward looking season start
Everything felt pretty good. I'm looking forward to getting that first start under my belt and get the season under way.
parents
Everything else is fine. My parents are good, my family's good.
awesome excited felt finally season start today waiting warming
Warming up before the game, I felt really good. I was really excited to get out there today finally and have my first start of the season and actually do well. It was awesome for me to get out there because it's something I'd been waiting on for a week.
feels pains sharp
I don't feel any sharp pains or anything like that. My back feels good, it just doesn't feel awesome.
felt finish guess help hopefully hurt month rehab season start starts
I guess in a way (the layoff could help his arm), but I haven't even made my first start back yet. I had rehab starts just to see if I felt good, and you go out there just to see how it feels. I don't know if that month off is going to hurt me or is going to help me. Hopefully I can finish out the season on my part and do well.
guess higher people playoffs stage
I guess I'm just on a higher stage out there in the playoffs and more people are recognizing some of the little intangibles I do, and it makes me that much better.
irritating somebody touch
But it's irritating when you can't get in touch with somebody you have to.
percent
but 60 percent is not going to get outs.
advantage balls couple home jamming life pitches took
My balls were moving, I had life on the fastball, and I was jamming them pretty much for most of the night. A couple of pitches they took advantage of, and that wasn't even the home runs. Those were just singles.
