tendency
That's always been my tendency the first inning of spring.

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.

It was kind of a wake-up call for me when Lou told the press that if I didn't turn it around, they may find somebody else,
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.
settled
I settled down a bit. I was a little more comfortable.

Someone who could buy a house four years ago without any government assistance all of a sudden needed $30,000, $40,000, $50,000 of help from somewhere to buy a house.
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.
aggressive burn fine letting line
That's what makes their lineup so tough. It's such a fine line between being aggressive with them and not letting them burn you.
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.
felt second
I got out there in the second inning and I was more relaxed, felt a lot better.
