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.
They actually swung today. The sooner they get their swings down, the better for me as well. I'm not trying to break bats and strike people out, I'm just trying to throw my pitches and feel like I'm accomplishing something. The more I throw, the better my pitches will get.
Probably the theory of most people that have played the game is they'll go as long as they can until they have, A, a career-ending injury or, B, too old and they've been doing it long enough and the fire has gone out. I still have a passion for it.
Seventeen wins is good, but I expect more this year. I want to show people I still have the stuff.
This is the kind of game I expect to pitch and people expect me to pitch. I feel more confident with everything.
It was devastating. It's hard for all of us who deal with them day in and day out. They're a big attraction for us. People have been asking where she's at, and it's hard to handle.
I don't think people give Pacific enough credit. We knew they had talent and our goal, defensively, was to stop Richardson.
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.
I'm looking forward to redeeming myself in my next start against Toronto.
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.
