behind defense fans front game good guys looked playing showing start throw
With the way the guys were playing defense behind me, I just wanted to throw strikes. I looked at this game as my first start of the season. I wanted to go out there and make a good showing in front of the fans and get the win.
baseball dad help instead player
When I got diagnosed, my dad told me, ?Use it as a tool. If you can be a baseball player with diabetes, you can help a lot of people. That's how I use it. I use it as a tool, instead of a crutch.
couple explain hitters pitch rough running rut starters starting week
I don't know if we're running out of gas. I can't explain it, ... It's just one of those things where we're kind of in a rut right now. Our starters had a rough couple weeks, and I feel like our starters are really starting to come back and pitch well again. The hitters are having a little rough week now, too.

face glad sure
I'm sure glad I don't have to face him right now.
followed hours job sure
Being my first year, I want to make sure I've followed through with something completely to the end. If I have to look for a job at the end of the year, that's what I'll do, but right now I'm really concentrating. I've put in a lot of hours working. First year, got to put in a lot of time. I want to make sure I do it right the first way.
considered eighth everybody fine guys power seventh stay strike until
Before, I considered myself a power pitcher. I wanted to strike everybody out. Now I want to stay in until the seventh or eighth inning. If I only strike out one or two guys but I?m still in there in the seventh inning, that?s fine with me.

I just didn't have command. I usually usemy sinker as my out-pitch and tonight I couldn't throw it where and when I wanted to.
ball bit coach coming easy front instead opening pitching problems running
The ball was running on me a little bit. The pitching coach (Carl Willis) said I was opening up a little bit with the front side, so they were able to see the ball coming (early) instead of upfront. It's an easy thing to correct. You want to try to get all those things out right now, get all those little problems to go away.
excitement great guys
Especially when you're on a new team. It's great to see all the guys and the excitement of what we can be.
glad hurts ignored people word
Not a word from anybody. Not an 'I'm sorry,' not an 'I'm glad everyone got out OK,' nothing. It hurts to be ignored completely. We're just disgruntled people now disappointed in the city.

It's going to be nice to be on a team like this that has a chance to win every time it takes the field.
expect expects fun team time win
It's fun to be with a team that expects to win every time they take the field. When I take the mound, I expect to win now, too.
