experience knew learning
This is another big learning experience for me. I knew better, but it happens. I've got to go out and show them they're not only going to get the fastball. They're going to get something else.
came dreamt great hoping night start time
First things first, the jitters are gone. I did what I had to do. I dreamt all through the night time hoping I'd have a great start and it came true.
came hoping nighttime pitch slept
I slept all through the nighttime hoping that I would pitch well. It came true.
nobody slide taught
I've always pitched with a slide step. Nobody taught it to me. I taught it to myself. I feel more comfortable that way.
ball felt good nervous putting throwing
I felt really good. Everything was on. I was throwing strikes. I was putting the ball where I wanted to put it. It was a real good day for me today. I wasn't actually nervous at all.
It was a big problem. But it's all right. I could only get 20. That's all I'm going to get.
baseball everybody great sold
This is a great baseball town. I'm 21, so to see a place sold out with everybody into it is unbelievable and fun.
