everybody hurting pitch
I don't know what to tell you, man. That one pitch is costing me. ... It's hurting everybody here.
couple pitchers ready throw
There are a lot of pitchers who need to throw 100 pitches. But that's not me. I just need to throw some fastballs, a couple of sliders, a couple of splitters and I'm ready to go.
pay pitch
You pitch up there at this level, you're going to pay the price. It was my fault.
batting feeling last league mostly pitching practice routine season trying year
Last year I mostly only pitched bullpens and batting practice. I went into the season without pitching in a big league game. But I was feeling great. So we're trying to keep the same routine here.
pitch
You can't think about the wall, but you always know it's there. You can't pitch differently because of it.
along guys handled hype talent tremendous
Felix is one of those guys who comes along every 10 or 20 years. He's a tremendous talent -- for his age, unbelievable. And he's handled all this hype like a champ.
composure everybody himself surprising
The thing that's really surprising everybody is his composure on the mound. The way he handles himself on the field, you wouldn't think he's 19 years old.
business last unfinished
We have some unfinished business (and) I like to finish what I start. Obviously, the last two years weren't good.
chemistry feels fresh spring
It feels fresh and it feels good. During spring training, you can see it a little fire, a little more chemistry here. That's what you need.
good needed timing
We needed this one; we all needed it. It was a good meeting. I like it, the timing of it. We need something to get us going.
early glad longest seemed
You know what? That was the longest inning I've had in a long time. It seemed like 100 pitches. I'm glad it's early and got it out of the way. Don't want many of those, man.
four last time walked
I don't even know when the last time I walked four guys, period.
bad bear guys happened nice sweep time
I didn't bear down. It would have been nice to sweep those guys but it was a bad day. It's the first time this has happened in a while.
almost bad cost felt pulled teammates
One bad pitch, it's frustrating. But I felt great, like I did in Boston, and look what happened. I cost the team, I almost cost the game. But my teammates pulled it out, and you know what? I'm not worried. I'll be fine.
