couple days delirious eight flights guys last reasons seven
I wanted to give us seven or eight innings. We've made two red-eye flights over the last couple of days and guys really haven't complained. I don't know if we're delirious or not, but it's one of the reasons I like this team. They've got character.

agent couple free good seeking stock teams year
It was a good year to be a free agent as a pitcher. There was a lot of teams seeking pitching. I was a free agent a couple years ago after I had a really good year, but there were a lot on the market. This year there wasn't very many out there, so everybody's stock rose.
couple feels fun giving glad good last pennant quality race team tonight took tried turn
It took me a long time. I was pressing a little too hard, but tonight I just tried to go out there and relax. It feels good to go out there and give a good performance.

The mood was up in the locker room, which was nice. We've had a couple of red-eye flights. I think we were a little delirious, so we were kind of happy. I was glad to go out there and give us a good performance. I wanted to pitch a lot of innings.
best couple feels good last mechanics pennant pitch race struggled
I didn't have my best stuff; I struggled with my mechanics early. It feels good to go out and have a good performance. My last couple were poor. It doesn't feel good to go out in a pennant race and not pitch well.
