ball bit instead throwing trying
As much as you would like to say it doesn't get in your head, it probably does. It's a little bit of trying to place the ball instead of throwing through the catcher.
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.
calling people pitch since
I've wanted to pitch here since I was 5 years old. I have people calling all the time.
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.
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.
ahead ball behind count game shows struggles successful throw
It just shows for me to be successful I have to get ahead on the count. A lot of the struggles I had in this game were from being behind on the count and having to throw the ball down the middle.
listen
When they called me in, they told me to first listen to everything they had to say.
career hire might though
They told the new hire that even though he might have a contract, his career there was over.
best controlled counting felt pitches spring
This is the best I felt this year, by far. I thought I controlled all my pitches the best I have all year, counting spring training.
arm feels last point problem walk
A four-pitch walk with two outs in the first inning. That's the only problem there was. My arm feels better now than it did at any point last year.
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.
guy last match
Just like my last start. You want to go out there and match what the other guy is doing.
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.
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.
