amazing break looks watching
The amazing thing. Is that he has got one pitch, to do all that with one pitch. Watching him, he looks like he doesn't even break a sweat.
definitely worst
That was the worst three-inning shutout I've ever thrown. This was definitely one of those days.
attitude character everybody last matter played situation three tonight weeks win
That's the way we've played the last three weeks or so. Everybody has the attitude that we have to come out and win every game, no matter what situation we're in. Tonight showed some of the character of this team, the fight, and now we have one more game.
ball behind breaking throw tonight
I was behind all night, ... Usually I can throw my breaking ball for strikes, but tonight I couldn't.
Most of it just comes down to being aggressive.

Just getting ahead. I watched Smally do it all day yesterday, and I saw how that turned out for him.

You like the pressure but you don't add any,
attitude bad good guys leads loud people pick positive trying watch whether
When you watch him play, you see what he does on the field. Off the field, when you get over here, you see it's not about him getting on people and being that loud kind of leader. He leads by example. His energy, his positive attitude is contagious. He's just always trying to pick guys up, whether he has a good or bad night.
anxious gets monotonous physically season
It gets kind of monotonous doing this over and over again. But once you physically feel good, you get anxious for the season to start.
easier focus funny high knowing pennant pitch team
It's funny to say, but it's easier to focus on a team like this, ... You want to do well, not that you didn't when your team is struggling, but you can get in a lull. Your focus isn't as high as it is here, knowing you're in a pennant race. Every pitch counts.
easier focus funny team
It's funny to say, but it's easier to focus on a team like this.
