First one, man, but it's hard to enjoy it when you lose the game. It got us back in the game and I thought there was some momentum shift. I know I was excited.

You blink and it's in the mitt. He struck me out with a 101-m.p.h. fastball. I didn't really see it. I kind of heard it whiz right past me. Very select few people can throw the ball that hard. He's going to be a tough one. You're going to have to bring your 'A' game every time you see him.
