guy last match
Just like my last start. You want to go out there and match what the other guy is doing.
best experience factor mean player proven
We all think we can win. We think the experience factor is very overrated. Just because you're not a proven big-league player doesn't mean you can't play the game. We have to go out and play our best every day to win, we know that.
great prove though tribe wrong
He was of the wrong tribe even though he could have been a great associate. He didn't even have a day to prove himself.
goal happy highest hopefully jump kick leg
I was just about there on that jump (at 6-4). I just had to kick my leg over and I was there. My goal (this season) is 6-2, so I'm happy with that, but with that 6-4 jump being so close, hopefully I can get that as my highest height.
listen
When they called me in, they told me to first listen to everything they had to say.
explain lost strike
I just completely lost the strike zone. I don't know how to explain it. I don't know what happened.
ball bit explain lost rather strike trusting trying
I just completely lost the strike zone. I don't how to explain it. As much as you would say it doesn't get in your head, it probably does. It is a little bit of trying to place the ball rather than trusting your stuff.
affected bothered knock late running
It's never bothered me. It's never affected my running. It's never affected how late I can go into the game. Then again, I'm still 22. So in 10 years it probably would affect my running and throwing, so I'd just like to knock it out now.
best spring start whatever
I like my chances. I'll do whatever is best for the team. I'd like to start. I'd like to think what I've done in the spring validates me to start for a while.
best couple everybody last open throwing whatever
I'm open to anything. Whatever they think is best for me is probably going to be best for me. They know what they're doing. Everybody has been throwing well. It's going to be going down to the last couple of games, I guess.
days definitely happy incredibly needed spend thinking
I pitched not as well as I could have. I'm incredibly happy that we won. We definitely needed a win. We don't have to spend two days thinking about it. But myself, I could have done a lot better.
limiting quitting six whenever
Quitting is a process. It's gradual. I'm limiting it to six a day after meals, before you go to bed, whenever you get up.
calling people pitch since
I've wanted to pitch here since I was 5 years old. I have people calling all the time.
bullpen club couple gone guys mind nice perform spring training
It's nice to know I'll be on the club with all the guys I've gone through spring training with. Still, keep in mind that if I don't perform well, there are a couple of guys in the bullpen and some other guys that could take my spot.
