happens reason tight trying
The way I'm just going to take it is everything happens for a reason. I went out there, trying to get some outs. It was a tight game.
behind defense double fastball felt good helped job keeping key playing plays toes trying work
I thought I used my fastball good. I got some outs with my fastball with two strikes. That's something I've been trying to work on. I got some key double plays to get some outs. My defense helped me out. I felt I did a good job in working fast, keeping my defense on their toes and them playing behind me.

I got off the bus, I noticed nobody had their luggage. 'Where are our bags?' I got to the lobby and I still couldn't find it.
attention command fact goes guys keeping mixing pay pitches pitching throwing
One thing, for sure, is he stresses the fact that command is the most important part of pitching. He's not up there throwing hard. He's mixing up pitches and keeping guys off balance. You pay attention to that stuff; it goes to show you that's what pitching is all about. It's not about throwing 100 mph.
thinking
That's all I'm thinking about every day. I like my chances.
