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.
ball finds funny takes
The ball finds holes, takes funny bounces, but there are no excuses.
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.
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.
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.
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.
bad change looking word
My name's probably a bad word in Cincinnati, ... I'm looking to change that.
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.
change speeds throw tried work
After that (home run) I tried to put up zeroes, work fast, change speeds and throw strikes.
crawl figure forget hole trying
Again, I'm not getting it done, ... It's frustrating. I've been trying to figure it out all year. It's one of those things I can't explain. I'm embarrassing myself. I'd like to just crawl into a hole and forget what's happened.
biggest huge pitches
I didn't think he was going to go away. It was a huge out. After 10 pitches to get that first out, it was probably the biggest out of the game.
couple feels felt
Hopefully, it's gone. I haven't felt it in a couple of days. It feels back to normal.
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.
injury per
The injury is long gone. Everything is 100 per cent.
