good hear knew
I knew right away. It popped and it's never a good thing when you hear something pop. Right now, it's pretty sore, and it doesn't feel very good at all.
fastball felt good pitch threw today
I felt real good out there. I threw a lot of fastballs and the fastball was down. That's going to be a big pitch for me. I had to get the feel for it. Today was a good start.
four glimpse goes good horrible three
I get a little glimpse of it, and then it goes away. That's the thing that's frustrating to me. I'll go out there, have three or four good starts, and then have two horrible ones.
against face good job keeping location minimize mistakes pitchers
When you face up against upper-echelon pitchers like Sheets, you have to minimize your mistakes. I made one, the location just wasn't good at that time. He (Lee) did a good job of keeping it fair.
good minimize pitches position runners scoring threw
I threw 72 pitches and every one of them was strong. I'm right where I want to be. I had runners in scoring position but made some good pitches. I was able to minimize the damage.
bad beat constantly enjoy good knocking last
Last year, I think I used to beat myself up too much after some bad starts. If I had a good one, I didn't give myself credit. I was always constantly knocking myself down. This year, I'm going to enjoy some games.

That sixth inning, I got the ball up a little bit and they were hitting it pretty hard.

Doesn't surprise me he's the man. We just walked way too many guys, and didn't get away with it.

We wanted to win today, get the magic number down to one. I felt good, but in the sixth inning I got the ball up a little bit.
backing few gave hits running
I gave up a few more hits than I wanted to, but I got in my running backing up the bases.
advantage against almost guess huge looking owning roger trouble word work
If you can own the down and away strike, it's a huge advantage for you. But if you have trouble owning that, it can almost work against you. Roger is, I think, a little more, uh, what's the word I'm looking for? I guess liberal.
ball both greatest player playing sides
He's the greatest player in the world right now. Both sides of the ball -- offensively, defensively -- he's playing great.
dumb question
He's real approachable. With him, no question is a dumb question.
