settled
I settled down a bit. I was a little more comfortable.
five hardest innings team
Probably the hardest five innings I've ever pitched. That was probably more the team that I'm used to facing.
everybody
We have everybody working today, around the clock.
approach call finish focus good hard looked start strong
At that point, I kind of reevaluated my approach and really looked hard into what I could do better. I think it was a good wake-up call for me. I've got one more start to finish up strong and that's where my focus is.
fastball
That was a fastball that was all over the place. But it worked.
aggressive count normally pitch quickly team
That was more the team I'm used to facing. They weren't as aggressive tonight. That's what they normally do. They try to get your pitch count up quickly then get into your bullpen.
experience good line playing team teams win
I thought I pitched better than my stat line is going to show, ... We all did what we had to do to win the game. This is a good experience for our team, for a team that hasn't been to the postseason, playing teams that are playing like it's the playoffs.
advantage mistakes pitches runs score three took
Three pitches got up and they made me pay. They score runs in bunches and took advantage of my mistakes.
felt second
I got out there in the second inning and I was more relaxed, felt a lot better.
areas call far good half happy last second struggle year
Last year was a struggle, as far as the first half and the second half. There's some areas I just wasn't too happy with it. I wouldn't call it, necessarily, a good year all around.
april break camp everybody goal ready route
My goal is we break camp April 3. I may not take the same route as everybody else but I'll be ready for it.
april goal ready taking
My goal and their goal is on April 3 I'll be ready to go. I'm just taking a different route.
boston carry october road spoil starting tonight
Now we just need to carry it back to the road starting tonight in Boston and do what we can to spoil people's October plans.
focus hip seeing
I'm always seeing how the hip is. And that's where my focus is.
