attacking ball bit good moving stuff zone
I was up in the zone a little bit more than I was the other day, but I had better stuff and got away with some stuff (Monday). But overall, I'm attacking the zone, moving the ball in and out and feel good with where I am right now.
beginning bit delivery environment takes tried year
I just tried to be more aggressive. Sometimes it takes a little bit at the beginning of the year to get comfortable with your delivery or just being in that environment again. You've just got to tell yourself to be aggressive.
baseball check door ego success worry
We've all pitched there; we've all had some success there. Sometimes it's not pretty, but as long as you can just kind of check your ego at the door when you get there and just worry about winning, you'll be fine.
arm goes hard kick leg letting million nice pitches pitching relaxed slow sure thrown
Pitching can be hard at times, but when you think about it, it's very simple. I've thrown a million pitches in my life, so I shouldn't be out there making sure my leg kick goes here, my arm comes here. I should just be out there nice and slow and relaxed and letting my arm go to work.
feeling fever system weak woke
I woke up (Sunday) at 5 a.m. with a fever and nausea. Fortunately, it was only a 12- or 24-hour bug, and it got out of my system just in time. I woke up (Monday) still feeling a little weak but not nauseous, so I was pretty happy.
good hopefully pitch spring takes throw
It is a pitch I have to throw. It is a feel pitch. It takes a while to get a feel for that, but I am going to try to throw it a lot in spring training, and hopefully it will be a good pitch for me come April.
easy impressive nine offense relax runs
Our offense was, to say the least, pretty impressive this whole series. It really just let us, as a staff, just relax and be aggressive. When you get nine or 10 runs a game, it's pretty easy to pitch.
finish five game gives guys night rotation starting
It gives the starting rotation a sense of relaxation, because we know if we can just get through five or six, we have the guys every night to finish the game up for us. In the past, it hasn't necessarily been that way.
games percent pitching win
I'm going to win 90 percent of my games pitching like that.
bad chance win
It was a bad effort. If I give us any kind of a chance at all, we win this game.
happen practice stuff sure
It's stuff we practice all spring. And when we're out there doing it, we're like, 'Well, is this ever going to happen during the season?' Sure enough, we executed it well (Monday).
field keeping start
That's a Coors Field start right there, keeping us in the game.
mind
It's a mind game. They know what I throw, and we know what Brandon throws.
definitely games high scoring win
It's definitely possible. It may be 20 games with a 5-and-a-half ERA, but it's still 20 games. A win is a win, it's just that some of our games are a little more high scoring than others.
