Loyalty for me is very important. You don't see it a lot in sports, not as much as sometimes I think you should. It's something that's important to me, it's something I value. It makes it easier when you're treated the way I've been treated.
Since I've been here, it's felt like a family for me. It's the chance to be here for another five years that I didn't want to pass up. Everything we talked about last time -- about what the organization wanted to do -- it's come full circle. All of that's happened.
I felt great. I didn't have anything like I had in the past. I'm excited going forward. I threw 90 pitches and felt great the whole time.
I felt good. I felt the excitement and adrenaline running through my body. It was definitely fun, even if the results weren't there.
I feel good, obviously anxious to get going. Those last couple of starts always seem to drag on a little bit. It's going to be fun, we have a good team and to see where we stand here in the first month is going to be fun.
I feel like it's over and done with. The one thing I've learned in the past is if I miss one start and get it taken care of and if I make 34 starts instead of 35, then it's probably the right thing to do. Hopefully this is something when I look back, I'll hardly remember at the end of the year.
The pitches they hit weren't very good pitches. To me, that's not a pitch-selection thing. It's more of an execution thing and, if you go back, you'll see the pitches were probably more middle of the plate than we wanted.
At any point against this team, if they have guys on base, it's a big at-bat. Regardless of how many runs (the lead is), those are big outs for you. You try everything you can against him. You can't get a guy like that out the same way every time. You kind of have to come up with new things and keep him guessing. It's always a challenge.
It's frustrating and the tough part was that we tried everything we could do to get back,
It's frustrating. We tried to do everything we could to get back as soon as possible. Unfortunately there's not a whole lot you can do. Sometimes you just got to let things run its course.
It's frustrating. We tried to do everything we could to come back. This is something that needs to run its own course.
It's frustrating. I feel like as well as we've gone I could have helped and still could from here on out.
They got in there and kind of loosened it up. I feel like it's kind of over and done with.
They had some good ideas to start the whole thing, so we had to come back with something. I think we've put an end to it.
