against ball coming course glad opportunity pitch team win
Of course I wanted to pitch well coming back to this city. Against a team like this I just wanted to give the team an opportunity to win the ball game. I am glad to come out with a victory.
fastball hot location pitches team
My fastball location was terrible. As hot as their team is, you've got to make your pitches and I didn't.
bad beat good hat hit pitch slider stayed supposed tip today
Just one bad pitch. I tip my hat to J.T. because he hit a good 3-2 changeup. But my slider was not working well today and that's the pitch that beat me. It was supposed to be down to Feliz and it stayed up.
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.
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.
five four learned pitches three trying worried year
Pretty much just everything isn't sharp. The three pitches that I've learned this year just aren't where I need them to be, which is understandable. I'm just trying to get those pitches in as much as I can into a live situation. I've still got four or five more starts, so I'm not worried about it.
chance decent giving instead nice pitching team
It was nice to get back to pitching decent out there, ... instead of giving the team no chance to win.
resilient work
We are a resilient team. You've got to work through those things and come out ahead.
best bit struggling stuff
I don't have my best stuff but I'm still winning. I'm struggling a little bit with my command.
excited heard shocked trade
I was shocked when I heard about the trade this morning, but the more I thought about it, the more excited I got.
cap execute executing guys last runners scoring telling tip
I was telling the guys over here that was the one thing they didn't do last year: execute with runners in scoring position. But I tip my cap to the guys for executing like that.
bothering coming luxury shoulder
But we're doing this just because we have the luxury of Trachs coming back. I'm not tired. My shoulder isn't bothering me.
helped instead mistake
Making one mistake instead of two helped me,
both great moved opportunity realize
I think we've both kind of moved on. We realize this is a great opportunity for me.
