passionate
He was very passionate about anything that he did.
body doubt felt
My body felt fine. It's not something I definitely, without a doubt needed.
continue money people support type
We aren't the type of people that give money and disappear. We're the type of people that go out and continue to support what we do.
clubhouse
I didn't feel like going to the clubhouse that early.
maybe stayed
Any other ballpark, maybe it would have stayed in. Here, unfortunately, it didn't. It put me in a little bind.
miserable night
I know it's going to be a miserable night. It's already been a miserable night. But what can we do?
elevate few fly nice pitches slider tonight
I had a nice slider tonight and I was able to elevate a few pitches on them and get fly balls.
based behind chest command fell groove last mind start stay throw year
In the back of my mind I wanted to come in here and throw well based on my last outing. I fell into a groove last year to start the season, then I had that chest strain. This year I've been making so-so pitches. I've got to keep working on my command and not get behind in counts, and just got to stay positive.
cross job mind time
I think about it all the time when I'm out and about, ... but I've got a job to do. It doesn't cross my mind when I'm on the mound.
believe coming knew learn negative people portray spotlight time york
New York is just a world of its own. I knew that coming in, but you learn that a little more when you get put in the spotlight like that in a negative and undeserving way. It was a little frustrating at the time because people kind of believe what they read. For her it's been a little tough, because they kind of portray her in a negative light.
good hacks obviously problem selection throwing
They're getting pretty good hacks at what I'm throwing up there. There's obviously a problem with my selection right now.
bit chance chill days luxury rest shoulder
They have the luxury of doing it with Trachsel here. Two days is two days; it's not a whole turn. It will give me a chance chill a little bit, rest my shoulder a little bit and then come back on Sunday.
relief tough
It's kind of a relief just to get it over with. It's been a tough day.
bats definitely felt found hole pitches single time worse
They found a hole every single time they put the bats on the ball. When I look back on it, it's definitely disappointing. I've made worse pitches and I've felt worse in games. There's nothing I can do now.
