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.
pitches
I still made pitches when I had to.
everybody less obviously pressure win
I think everybody understands that we have to win every day. The more pressure we can put on them, obviously the less pressure there is on us.
behind count early hard night pitches
I stunk. I got behind in the count early all night long and made it hard for myself. I didn't make the pitches when I had to.
ball deep games glad left mess shown start
You don't ever want to give up the ball as a pitcher, ... especially after the mess you'd left out there the inning before. Each start I've shown him I can go deep into games and I'm just glad to have this opportunity.
ball confidence mess
You don't ever want to give the ball up as a pitcher, especially when you've got that mess out there you made yourself. Having the confidence in me to be out there and get through it, it's big, it's huge.
add pressure
You like the pressure but you don't add any,
decent opportunity pitch pitching
I think getting out of there, ... and having an opportunity to pitch every day in a decent pitching environment, it helps. I'm not going to lie.
coming giving home start
It didn't start well. Coming out and giving up a two-run home run.
against pitching team tough
I thought I pitched decent, not great. It's tough to come back against a team like that, with their pitching staff.
helping race written
I'm happy. Being in a race and helping the team, I don't think I could have written a better script.
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.
fastball good hitting locate pitches speed today white
Today I could locate all my off speed pitches for strikes, I wanted to keep the White Sox off balance, ... I know they are a good hitting fastball team.
