ball knew plate threw throw
He's a first-pitch swinger and I wanted to throw it off the plate and I threw it right down the middle. Right then I knew the ball wasn't going to go where I wanted it to today.
ball
I was little too quick. I couldn't put the ball where I wanted.
battle expecting helped innings rough trying weird
It was weird to get my first at-bat before I pitched my first inning. That helped me relax. I was just trying to get through the first inning. That was my goal. I was expecting to have some rough innings and have to battle through it.
execute happened hard hit time
Pretty much the whole time I didn't execute any pitches. Then they hit them hard ... and that's all that happened today.
challenge good hitters hot maybe middle threw thrown
I wanted to challenge him inside, but I threw it right over the middle of the plate. He's hot now, and that's what good hitters do. Maybe I should have thrown him something off-speed. I don't know. But I'm not going to back down from anybody.
best far forward fun good hit hope looking point
At some point it will probably hit me, but right now I'm just having fun and looking forward to it. I just go out and have fun and compete. That's all you can do. I just hope my best is good enough, and so far it has been.
help hindrance simple staff youngest
We have to help each other out. We have to keep it simple and not get overwhelmed. I don't think having the youngest staff will have any hindrance on us.
gave hits overall strikes threw worked
I worked on my pitches. I gave up some hits and some runs, but overall it was good. I threw a lot of strikes and got up to 90 pitches.
behind everybody fell good hitting third
I fell behind everybody and that's a good hitting team. The third inning really killed me.
few morning ridden seem talked
We talked to them this morning and they seem to be doing good. They've ridden out a few of them, so they're doing good.
couple eight good guy hits innings lose pitch seven strength sure throw whatever
It was one of those innings where you lose it for a couple of guys, throw a good pitch but then a guy hits a double. Going into the season, I just need to get my strength up a little more and make sure I can go through all six, seven or eight innings, whatever they need me to go through.
behind fell
That pretty much killed me. I fell behind on everybody.
bad compete good tricks
It's good and bad -- you don't want to show them everything you got, but I'm not going any tricks at you. I'm going to do the same thing each and every outing, compete and go after you. I'm not going to try to do anything different.
eighth maybe relax whether worry
It's just one of those things. Maybe we need to just get out there and relax and not worry about whether it's the first inning or the eighth inning.
