build felt good guys obviously settle start today
It's been pretty frustrating. It's obviously not the start I'd like to get off to, but there are a lot of good things I can take from today and build on. After the first inning, I pitched pretty well. I felt like I was able to settle in and get a lot of guys out after that.
certain felt good throwing
I was working on throwing changeups and fastballs to certain spots. It felt pretty good out there. Yeah, I'd say I'm where I want to be at this point.
felt mechanics normal paid seeing spring tonight trying
I was trying to get my mechanics straightened out and I think it paid off. I felt normal for the first season, even in Spring Training. Seeing it is not enough, I need to feel it and tonight I could feel I was in the right groove.
bad crazy felt good home stretch
It felt good today. It was really windy out there. That was a crazy home run. ... The only bad stretch were the two walks.
behind definitely forgetting front game guys situation watch watching weird
It's confusing. You watch the guys in front of you but you're also watching the guys behind you. You get here, and you keep forgetting you're actually out front (by a game and a half) in one of these situations. It's definitely a weird situation to be in.

We were pretty much in the playoffs until this last week.

No, run support is not going to be a problem.
face faced four guys three tougher
Sometimes, it's tougher to face guys you don't really know. I think I faced three or four of those guys in the past.
along fastball moving sure
I feel like I'm moving along pretty good. I wanted to make sure I could put my fastball where I wanted it, and I think I did that.
finally good gotten perform point
I feel like I'm right where I need to be. I finally got that long-term deal, and I've gotten it at a good point in my career. I feel like I can perform well through this whole contract.
appreciate bother cares fact
No, but it doesn't bother me. I just appreciate the fact that he cares so much about everything.
against match means pitcher team
It means a lot to a team when you can match up against any upper-echelon pitcher and win.
against easier good guy guys match means runs team
It means a lot to a team when you can match up against any upper-echelon guy and win. But these guys had a lot to do with it -- they put up good at-bats and scored some runs and that made it a little easier on me.
