I wouldn't get into it with that dude. He's huge.
fans guess listen media pleased says stuff team
I don't know, but I'd guess he'd be pleased with what we did tonight. It says something about this team that we can not listen to all the stuff the media and fans are going on about and just do our thing.
bad great pitch
I didn't get the pitch where I wanted to. It wasn't that bad of a pitch, but he's a great hitter.
decision figure
I don't figure anything. It's a decision I'm not making. All I can do is pitch.
love
I'd love it, but nobody's told me that will happen, ... But yeah, I'd be ready.
excited situation taking
Obviously, I'm excited now that I know I'm going to start. I wouldn't say relieved, but that's where I know I want to be. But I also know it's game-by-game here. I know what the situation is here, so I'm not taking anything for granted.

I had pretty good stuff. I had command of all my pitches and I kept them off balance. Our offense put up runs early and that made things easier.
felt good last looking
I felt good to the last pitch. That's all I'm looking for.
couple felt left pitches
I felt good. I just left a couple pitches up.
I feel great. I just need to get a little stronger.
