Kenny Rogers is the staff ace but he'll be hard pressed to match his 13 wins from last year while serving as the Twins' fifth starter.
anxious driving front keeps nervous obstacles overcome whatever
I always get nervous and a little anxious before any game. If I don't, I need to go home. I think that's part of it that keeps me going, keeps driving me to overcome whatever obstacles are in front of me.
good motivated pitch
I'm motivated to come here and pitch well. I wasn't as good as the other day. ... But I pitched well enough to keep them off balance.
certain last start
I'm pretty certain this is my last start here,
ahead mound ready season sure takes
I don't look ahead and take anything for granted. I want to be sure that when the season starts, I'm ready to go to the mound and be successful. At this stage, it takes a lot more, unfortunately.
good hitter remember
I remember how good a hitter he was. He's no different now.
capable focused outside pitches
I really try not to get focused in on all the other outside distractions. I just try to do what I'm capable of doing, make the pitches I'm capable of making and do it at the right time.
focused outside
I really try not to get focused in on all the other outside distractions.
I figured, ... that everyone would be here at this table.
god knew pitch throw worse
I don't think there's a worse 0-2 pitch I could throw in my life. God it was bad. I think before I even let it go, I knew it wasn't where I wanted it to be. It was terrible.
mean talk
I have not made a decision. I have to talk to the ones who mean the most to me and then decide.
anybody bad behind chance dugout further gets gives guys love mess mind point screw trying
I'm the first to screw up more than anybody else. Yeah, you'd love not to have any, because it gets you that much further into a game. But I mess around and mess up and make bad pitches. Guys make errors. There's not one of those guys behind me that's dogging it or not trying their best. Really, I don't mind it to a point because it gives me a chance to show them I'm going to get an out and get them back in the dugout and make up for it.
against deep doubt good happened happy quality team today
I'm happy with what happened today because it was a good team to play against. Getting that deep against that quality of a lineup is without a doubt a bonus.
aware start
I'm aware of it. I don't take it for granted. Every start is different.
