ball breaking coming fastball good looked pressure putting threw time trying
It looked like he was trying to feel for his breaking ball a little bit, that's what it looked like he threw in the dirt. Fastball was coming out good. Probably been putting a little pressure on himself, trying to do too much. First time out there, for any pitcher, it's the first time out there. You don't know what to expect. You're just trying to go out there and get a good feel for it, really.
ball ground looking
I got the ground ball I was looking for.
ballpark definitely enjoying takes
We're doing everything it takes to win. I'm definitely enjoying going to the ballpark every day.
aim ball hard perfect strike threw throw trying worrying zone
I had been trying to aim the ball a bit. So I just threw as hard as I could. I wasn't worrying about trying to make a perfect pitch. I just wanted to throw it in the strike zone and give them a different speed. It was very effective.
arm balls curve feeling throw
I didn't throw any curve balls today. I didn't like the way my arm was feeling in warm-ups.
balls behind leaving seemed
I was leaving a lot of balls over the plate. I pretty much did what you don't want to do as a pitcher. It seemed like I was getting behind hitters, and when I did get ahead, I wasn't able to put them away.
feeling longer relate seems
I know what he's going through, I can relate to him. I know the feeling of going out there and having a long season. It seems much longer than it really is.

I know what he's going through, ... I can relate to him. I know that feeling, the feeling of going out and having a long season that seems much longer than it really is.
ear guys sure
I'll be in Kenny's ear as much as he'll let me be, and I'm pretty sure the other guys will be, too.
best days expect good hitting score shut teams
We've got a good offense. You can expect us to score runs. But there's going to be days where even the best hitting teams are going to get shut out.
best days games good hitting obviously past shut teams
I've been getting a lot of runs. This is just one game, ... Obviously the past two games we haven't scored any runs. But that's going to change. We've got a good offense. But there's going to be days where even the best hitting teams are going to get shut out.
picked runs scoring several
I've been getting a lot of runs. They've been scoring a lot of runs for me. They picked me up several times,
good taken track
You need some rules, of course. You've got to have order. At least he's taken the players' input. He's made a good impression, so far. Which isn't surprising, considering his track record.
home pitch wish
I wish I could pitch this well everywhere, ... especially at home this year.
