ability ball body drive driving fine given harder instead job letting line loose mechanics missing spots staying throw trusting trying within
There's a fine line between letting loose completely and missing spots and staying down through trusting mechanics and letting your body take over and trying to driving the ball down. (Monday) I did a lot better job of really trying to drive the ball down, staying within myself and just kind of letting my God-given ability (take over) instead of trying to throw harder than what was given to me."

There's no such thing to me as not airing it out. I always go all out every time. I am always on go. To me, it's not about competing, it's all about winning." ()
allowed bad ball bit couple far forward handle handling step time work
I don't think you're ever allowed to have a bad day as far as getting ready-wise. (Wednesday) was not a step backwards. After they just scored a couple of runs, you think, 'Let's just get our work in, let's keep the ball down. Let's do some things.' It's my first time handling adversity. You can't have everything rosy for you. You need to see how you handle that, and (Wednesday) was a very step forward in handling a little bit of adversity." ()

So many times, the media gets stereotyped as being bad guys to talk to, but with Paul, no one ever had any qualms about that. He was always smiling; he always treated you fairly. You could talk to him about anything. I really had a friendship with him. I miss the guy." ()

Tonight, I did a better job of bringing the ball down. I'm not concerned about my individual stats. We're all in this together. I think I pitched fine, not well enough to win. I try to stay within myself and give the team a chance to win." ()

This time last year, I didn't even know if I had a spot on this team. I want to earn whatever they give me, but I figure, why not me? People are in for a big surprise from me this year." ()

base common home jobs military nice options people respect
It's really nice to come down to the military base and show them our support. I have a lot of respect for people in the military. There aren't many jobs back home, so one of the options for a lot of us is to go into the military. It's very common for people back home to do that." ()
