game guessing guys last slider tempo today work
I'm just guessing they wanted to take a look at some more guys over there. I really wanted to work on getting my slider down. The last game it was just so-so, and today it was much better. Today, I had a better tempo and it was much better.
hitting spots
I just wasn't hitting my spots like I wanted to.
bottom line trying
I'm just trying to make the most of it. The bottom line is we won.

I'm not sure anyone ever told me last year. If I am the starter, I am the starter.
help nice
It was nice just being able to help out.
game huge jump matter
No matter how you look at it, every game is huge from here on out. We don't want to jump ahead. Take them one at a time.
rough
It was just a rough day. Things snowballed.
perfect
Those things happen. I'm not going to be perfect all the time.
handed home tail
We've had our (butts) handed to us. But are we going to go home with out tail between our legs? No. We just need to keep battling.
ball giving hard hit last mechanical opening rough throwing
You look at my stats and you'd think I'd been giving it up. I'm throwing the ball fine. There are no mechanical issues. I had a rough opening day, but I haven't been hit hard the last two starts.
early five fresh innings last might opposed
You might want to look up the first five innings as opposed to the last four, when they're on base. You're still fresh early in the game.
agent asked season
My agent asked me before the season if I'd be interested. I wasn't.
depends games happen seasons trying win
Personally, I?m trying to win every game. If it happens, it happens. A lot of seasons it depends on your teammates. To win 20 games you have to have a lot of things happen in your favor. You need a little luck.

Since that guy from L.A. (Oscar Robles) hit that pitch that bounced (earlier this month off Rob Tejeda), nothing surprises me anymore.
