might slow
We're going through so much (roster) turnover, (the WBC) might slow us down early.
battling
I've been out there battling my butt off all year,
behind focusing games thick trying win
Everything has been put behind us, ... I'm focusing on trying to win some games and trying to keep us in the thick of things.
forget good
I wanted to go out there and get a good start, so I can forget about everything that happened,
among division feeling handled pressure uphill wrong
There's no division among the players, ... It's been a uphill battle, and we've been feeling the pressure and sometimes it's come out the wrong way, but I think everyone has handled it. There have not been any knock-down, drag-out fights.
bad beat fell gave good guy key needed pitches tough
I wasn't going to give into Sweeney, ever. That's the one guy in the lineup I'm not going to get beat by. Some of the other walks, I made some bad pitches and fell behind. I think the key was I never gave in. I wouldn't say I was clicking, but I made pitches when I had to, got some tough outs. That was one of the things I needed to be able to do. When you're able to make pitches, you feel pretty good about it. That was the story tonight.
front good pitches using zone
I was using his aggressiveness to my advantage. He's a good hitter. He's come up clutch. I was able to make pitches up and out of the zone and get him out in front a little on off-speeds. That was the key.
bit felt good pitch
It felt good to get out there and pitch again, ... Get back to a little bit of normalcy.
broke good maybe pitching problem rest
Maybe it broke the seal. We've got a pretty good pitching staff. I don't think it's going to be a problem the rest of the year.
maybe next skip talk time
Maybe I'll try to skip (the start) next time it comes up. I'll go have a talk with the manager.
ballplayer call glad good guys
You know, he's a very good ballplayer and very sound, fundamentally. The thing is, we have a lot of guys in that outfield. I'm just glad I don't have to call those shots.
affect definitely felt lying
I'd be lying if I said it didn't affect me. I definitely felt a little uncomfortable.
behind happen liked shut somebody stand
I would have liked to have somebody stand behind me and say: 'We've got your back. Go out there and shut them down from here on. But that didn't happen today, so whatever.
forget guys last proven
Let's forget about last year. We've got guys who've proven they've done it in the past. It's encouraging.
