break cry handle mad ready situation thrown triple
I've been here before. It's not like I'm new to the situation. It's not like if they tell me I'm going to Triple A, I'm not going to break down, cry or go down there and get mad and not work. I've been there before. So I'm ready to handle any situation that is thrown at me.
break contribute crossed focused frame leagues mind minor team
My mind frame is that I'm going to break (camp) with the team and contribute to the team like I know I can. Any thought of the minor leagues hasn't crossed my mind. I'm going in focused on one goal, one mission.
battling outing regardless spot
It was an outing that wasn't well period, regardless of battling for a spot or not.
time tough understand
Sometimes it's tough (to be patient). But you have to be strong-minded and understand that you have time and you're still young.
bad ball came habit high mechanical reason
That was something that just came from a bad habit. It was no mechanical reason that made me do it. Just a bad habit. It made me inconsistent. The ball would be high or low.

area ball best certain finesse hard paint throw trying using year
This year I'm just going out and using my best stuff. I'm not trying to paint. I'm not a finesse pitcher. I'm not going to be the one who is going to paint here or paint there. I'm going to throw hard to a certain area and keep the ball down.
earn hitters throw
Throw hard, be aggressive, make the hitters earn it.
believe conviction definitely good great people pitch
It's definitely something you have to believe in. People can say that you have great stuff, but if you don't believe it, you're not going to pitch with conviction like you have good stuff.
behind count hits needed
The big hits they had were where I was behind in the count and I had to come at them. They got the hits when they needed to.
best worst
It wasn't necessarily my best start, but it wasn't necessarily my worst start.
deal depends mentally pitch strong
I try not to think about it, and if it's hurting, try not to show it. If it was that big a deal and I couldn't pitch with it, I wouldn't pitch. A lot of times in baseball, you're not 100 percent. It depends on how mentally strong you are. That's what it all comes down to.
against beat comforting knocked next shows stronger tunnel
It's a comforting thing. If you get beat up by a team, and you come back against the same team, and you do pretty well, it shows once you get knocked down in a tunnel you're not going to give up. You come back stronger the next time.
adapt glad great group might ought seems successful sure year
It might be a little different, but I'm sure I can adapt to it. It's a young group of players, and everyone seems to be having fun. It ought to be a great year and a successful year. I'm glad to be a part of it.
