good relax strikes throw
That seven-run inning was the key. We got a good lead, and I was able to relax and throw strikes and go right at them.
time worked
I'm not getting it done, ... It's frustrating. I try to give it everything I can every time out. But it hasn't worked out.
ball finds funny takes
The ball finds holes, takes funny bounces, but there are no excuses.
focus nice puts relax
A seven-run inning really puts you at ease. You can go out and relax and focus on what you have to do. It's nice to have a lead.
excited forward last looking next time wrong year
Especially after the year I had last year, I don't want to get off on the wrong foot. Things couldn't be better right now. I'm very excited and looking forward to the next time out.
bad couple jam liked might runs six stay turn
It was a bad first couple innings, but I was able to turn it around there. I would have liked to have been able to try to get out of that jam there in the fifth. I put us in that situation, and you never know what can happen. As a competitor, you'd like to stay out there and keep it at six runs and we might have had a shot.
bottom hitting matter sixth strikes throwing tough
It was one of those nights, ... I had things working. It was just a matter of getting ahead, throwing strikes and getting the first out. They've got a tough lineup. When you have Howard hitting sixth or seventh, you've got some big boppers at the bottom of the lineup.
bad good hard trying turn work
I've been trying to give it everything I've got to work hard and turn this thing around, ... I've had some good outings, but they've been overshadowed by the bad ones.
antsy home seven sitting start
It's just frustrating. I was sitting home antsy and bored, so I got here early. I was sitting around for seven hours, and this was my first start of the year. You want to get it done.
maybe sticking
It?s maybe a different angle. It?s been working so far, so I?m sticking with it.
proud seems
It's nothing I'm proud of, but it seems to have become a part of my game, ... It's not something you try to do, obviously.
guy hitting next pitching staff start top wants wear
A lot of it was myself and the start I got off to. I've always said it's contagious, like hitting or anything else. When you're pitching good, the next guy wants to go out and top the guy before him. When things are going bad, it can wear on the whole staff and not just one person.
family five longer longest seen telling three today weeks
Someone was just telling me today that he hadn't seen his family for five weeks. That's tough. Two to three weeks is the longest I've ever been away from my family, and I wouldn't want to have to go any longer than that.
injury per
The injury is long gone. Everything is 100 per cent.
