against box definitely eight fastball few game guys hit last people pitch pitching plan promise seven standpoint stepped success taking trying
I wasn't trying to hit him in the head. I don't play the game that way. I've got to pitch in. This is the only place I'll get comfortable doing it, making it part of my game plan and taking it into the season.

I'm definitely not one of those guys from a pitching standpoint because I've had so much success away.

Tonight I probably pitched in more than any start I've done in my career. I had a game plan and we executed. The stuff has been there, and I felt in the seventh inning, velocity-wise, when I had to have it, I had it. That's a big boost.

bear couple game half hopefully itself meaningful neat playoffs second staff starting
It?s a really neat thing, and then it?s over. Like anything else - starting Game One of the playoffs or the first game of the second half - it?s cool, it?s a big deal. And then it?s over. With the way this staff is set up, I don?t know if it?s as meaningful as the past, because there?s potentially a couple of No. 1?s in this rotation. By the end of the year, hopefully that will bear itself out.
