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.
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.
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.
competing good perspective view
It's always good to get their perspective, a different view point. They're the one's we're competing against.
against aggressive couple fine good line swings tried
I tried to get too fine. Derek had a couple of good swings against me. It's that fine line between being aggressive and being picky.
best good team teams test
We have a young team and a lot to prove. It's a good test for us to play the best teams in the American League.
bullpen came good settled victory
The bullpen did a good job, came in and settled things down. And we came away with another good victory.
focused good knowing stay trying
Knowing what they can do, I was just trying to stay focused and make good pitches.
except felt good groove height pitches three using walks
I went out there and felt good. Everything was going good there for a while. For me to be successful, I have to keep it down, using my height to my advantage. Today, three pitches got up and they made me pay. For the most part, I was in the groove except for those three pitches and two walks to Wilkinson. That's being too fine.
advantage cut dried good hurt mistakes runs score three took
It was kind of a cut and dried game. Three mistakes and two walks. That's what hurt me and they're a good team. They score runs in bunches and they took advantage of my mistakes.
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.
fastball
That was a fastball that was all over the place. But it worked.
