behind count defense finish game grew kept lead pitch stay
I told myself I wanted to finish the game (once the lead grew to 8-1). The defense behind me was very good, and that kept my pitch count down and enabled me to stay in the game.
good happen later maybe pitcher system time
We've all been there. Maybe it'll be good later that he's getting it out of his system now. Every pitcher who's ever been out there has had that happen at one time or another.
best days last pitching staff three
To me, they have the best pitching staff all around. The last three days have been amazing.
count early felt ground knew strikes throw
Once we got that eight-spot up there, I felt a little more relaxed. I knew I had to throw strikes early in the count and get some ground balls. That's what happened.
game good
I went from a good game to a so-so game because of my walks.
chance test work
Out there, you're not going to have a chance to work on things, to test out pitches. It's for something important. You have to get outs, so it should help.
ball caught cold knock looks maybe
He looks mean, like he's going to knock the ball out of the park. Maybe we caught him at a cold time.
good stuff
I just had good stuff and I went out there and battled.
clubhouse seen
I haven't seen it in any clubhouse that I've been in. Never. Never ever.
balls best hit worry
They hit some balls hard. I never worry about our defense. I think we have one of the best defenses.
kept sweet trying
I kept trying to make my pitches, but I kept elevating the ball. That's his sweet spot.
eighth five good saved thinking threw
In the beginning, I wasn't thinking about it. But in the eighth inning, I threw like five pitches, and I started thinking about it. It's good ... I saved the bullpen.
business care control helps pitcher prove situations type
I know what I can do. I know what type of pitcher I can be, and if I take care of my business and prove things to myself, right there that helps this team, because as a pitcher, you're the one with the ball. You have the control of the situations you're in.
pitcher type
I know what type of pitcher I can be.
