I'm looking forward to redeeming myself in my next start against Toronto.
Honestly, I've never thought much about that. It's nice to know. Maybe we should start the season in September next year.
I'm throwing everything that I throw right now. The more I throw it, the more effective it will be. I feel like I'm in pretty good shape.
I know that. The games I'm here to win are the postseason games.
I just was focused. I was not going to get all worked up about stuff.
It's spring training and we want to see what's working, there's going to be games or innings where I decide to just work on this pitch or that pitch, even if we get racked around. Six games, there's not a lot of time to work on everything. I've got a job to do and I just need to go out there and do things and get ready to do it when the bell rings.
It was just one of those games. They're going to happen.
They've played us well, ... We don't take them lightly.
They've obviously played us well. They've played a lot of people well. We don't take them lightly. I don't think anyone does.
I was 19 at one time, too. But I was trying to find my way to class in college.
I want to pitch the way everyone expects me to pitch. And when I don't pitch that way, I get upset.
It's no longer a marathon. It's a sprint now. Every game is critical.
I'm increasingly more comfortable this year because everything is where it needs to be right now as opposed to last year. Overall I feel good. I'm excited about where I'm at right now. Hopefully everything will go well and smooth for the team, but that's not always the case.
I'm glad it wasn't rained out. I had warmed up, and warmed up good.
