In the beginning of the game I was having trouble getting the feel of my slider. A couple of pitches I wish I had back. I was thinking about too much instead of throwing it.

In the beginning of the game, I had trouble with the feel on my slider. I was hanging a lot of them and I couldn't get it down. There were a couple of pitches I wish I had back.
balanced beef breaks easier full good helping mostly seems stay strong stronger trying weight
I've been trying to beef up a little bit, mostly my legs, trying to get those stronger. It seems like it's helping out a lot, making it a lot easier to stay balanced and stay real strong on my back side. Going through the first full season, you know how much it breaks you down a little bit, so I think it's good to get stronger and have a little more weight on there.
backyard fun playing
We have an aggressiveness to us. It's like we're playing backyard baseball. It's a fun way to play.
struggling
I didn't have all my control. I was struggling down in the zone.
anyone game looks plan seen
Unbelievable. He just looks so comfortable at the plate. I've never seen anyone so right there with everything. He always has his game plan right on point.
came couple facing good hot knowing last playing team tough
We all know their situation, ... We came in here knowing we're facing a very hot team with a lot on the line. That's why this was a good win. But we've been playing all the contenders very tough for the last couple months.
stuff
It's like they always have to have something to say. It's the same stuff they said before. I don't really have anything to say.
confidence
It set the tone. To get out of that was a big confidence boost.
believe consistent help next side stay truly work
I truly believe that's going to help me out a lot. But I've been working from the side my whole life. We're going to stay with that to stay more consistent to the plate. It's something I can work on next season.
bring bury hanging instead
When I want to bury something, I need to bring it. Instead of hanging it up there.
break giving good innings late
Us in the late innings -- we're tough, real tough. You know that they're going to break out. It's a good thing to see us not giving up in the late innings.
We're kind of jelling a little bit. It's getting fun.
