execution terrible
That was terrible execution at that time. Things weren't going my way, and that capped it off right there.
along coming couple feels starts takes year
Usually it takes a couple starts to really feel it, but this year it's coming along a little quicker. Right now, everything just feels in sync.
battling pressure putting
We're still out there battling and putting pressure on them.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
might slow
We're going through so much (roster) turnover, (the WBC) might slow us down early.
knowing
It (stinks). Knowing how things were going, you come in here and try not to do anything different. I just didn't have a feel out there. It was real frustrating.
bad five good impressive knowing strikes
It's terrible, man, because when he comes in, it makes you look bad as he strikes out five guys. But it's pretty impressive to be able to do that. It makes you feel good knowing you've got someone like that out there to back you up.
