battling behind outing regardless spot
I got behind. Batters are more comfortable when you get behind them because they know you have to come in with strikes. It was an outing that didn't go well, period, regardless if I was battling for a spot or not.

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.

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.

against beat compete fun guys handle likes pitching positive ready tried yankees
Definitely, me being a competitor, I like to get even. No one likes to get beat down. For me pitching to the Yankees twice, I tried to look at it in a positive way. Just as well as I can do bad, I can go out and do good. I'm ready to handle any challenge. It's fun going out there and compete against guys who can hit.

actions bunch competing far five given mind rather speak spots talk
I want to show it. I'm not the one who is going to talk. I'd rather go out and let my actions speak for it rather than talk a bunch of game. As far as I'm concerned, nothing is going to be given to me. In the back of my mind there's five spots and I'm competing for one of those five spots.
hard next ready shake work
I just need to shake it off, work hard and come back ready for my next start.
