batter came tough within
I came within one batter of getting out of a pretty tough jam.
couple good needed threw throw tough worked
I threw a lot of strikes. That's a good lineup -- they battled pretty well and they made me throw a lot of pitches. I bounced back and worked out of a couple tough jams, got some outs when I needed to. I'll take those things out of it.
against biggest knew pitches position score stay tough work
I put myself in position to win. It doesn't always work out for you. The biggest thing to do is keep making my pitches to stay in there. I knew going in it would be tough to score against Kazmir.
alone guys learned lessons longest preferred stick tough
I learned a lot of lessons I would have preferred not to learn. It's a tough game, there are up and downs. Most guys go through some struggles, I'm not alone in that regard. But the guys who stick around longest are the guys who make adjustments quickest.
feeling helped mechanical
I've been feeling good. I think I've made some mechanical adjustments that have really helped me out.
today
On the whole, not very good. I think today kind of typified it,
early last side success ups year
You go through ups and downs. I had a lot of success early last year and didn't really get this side of it,
early either great job runs score using
We did a great job of using all 27 of our outs to score runs today, ... Sometimes you score early and sometimes late, but either way we had enough today.
ball keeping mostly pounding stay strike trying
I don't have anything they don't know about. Mostly it's pounding the strike zone, keeping the ball down and trying to stay out of patterns.
found frustrated game number run runs threw
Obviously, every run counted, ... Any number of those runs that doesn't score, it's a different game for us. I'm frustrated because I never really got going -- never really found a groove, never consistently threw a lot of strikes.
couple guys hit staying three walk
Occasionally you walk a couple of guys and it doesn't really get that bad, ... Once you walk three guys and hit a guy, you're probably not staying in there much longer.
felt mixed strike
I felt good. I was working down (in the strike zone) and mixed my pitches, which is what I have to do.
ball felt good job keeping staying top
I did a pretty good job of staying on top of the ball and keeping it down. I felt pretty good.
pitch wrong
It wasn't the wrong pitch (fastball), it was the wrong location.
