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.
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.
catch defense letting start strikes sure team throwing
I wanted to make sure I was getting the team innings. I think we all need to start throwing more strikes and letting our defense catch the ball.
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.
breaking demeanor gonna head knock pitch putting start stay throw whatever
You're not ever going to see me start putting my head down. I'm going to do whatever I have to do to get out of it. I'm going to throw whatever pitch is working that day. If I have to throw 75 breaking balls, then that's what it's gonna be. My demeanor is that you can knock me down, but you know I'm not going to stay down.
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.
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.
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.
fit guys knowing learn tried trying
I was a little nervous. I was just trying to learn from all the guys -- knowing I was going to be one of the first ones cut. I just tried to fit in where I could.
ball
I was little too quick. I couldn't put the ball where I wanted.
carry hit mind threw
I threw some fastballs and they hit them. It was just one of those days. You put it in the back of your mind and carry it into the season.
behind everybody fell good hitting third
I fell behind everybody and that's a good hitting team. The third inning really killed me.
clubhouse easy free fun game hard keeps
He's fun to be around in the clubhouse -- a real character. Dewy is just ... Dewy. He's hard to explain. He keeps the game free and easy by just being himself.
happens time
Just something that happens at this time of year.
