Mostly, I was throwing fastballs and locating them.
It doesn't appear the commission went far enough in recognizing the intensely competitive market in New York for telecommunications. But it appears to be a step in the right direction.
I think he's got me a little bit. I'd have to throw two shutouts in a row. I think he's done a great job all year, and if I had to pick one right now, it would be him.
I got it done today. I really didn't have my 'A' game. ... I really didn't feel like I had good zip on my fastball today, but I was still able to locate it pretty good. I know I got them looking for fastballs, and then started throwing changeups a little.
Obviously, they are the team to beat. This puts them behind us for the first time in a long time.
If I had to say who our rival was going into last year, I'd say the Twins. They had won the division and were the team to beat. Now the White Sox won the division, so they're the team to beat. We want to knock them out of first.
To get off to a good start and put them behind us for the first time in a long time is a good thing. They got up on us last year and never looked back. Hopefully we can do some of that this year.
To keep them to one run in six innings, that's pretty good. I'll take that.
We're all confident right now. Everybody is pitching well. Everybody is hitting well. We keep swinging like this, and I don't see a whole lot changing.
It's up to us. For a while, I thought it was out of reach and I was just thinking about the wild card, but the White Sox have fallen apart lately. We've got to play them six times. It's possible.
New York is probably one of the most competitive markets in the country.
It's still in our hands. It's just going to be a little tougher.
I try not to complicate things at all.
It wasn't that bad of a pitch. It wasn't exactly where I wanted it. He's seeing the ball good and making solid contact.
