good since
I've said it since I've been here. If you keep this lineup close, good things will happen.
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.
command early good kept offense pitches runs
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.
felt good stuff
It's disappointing. I felt like I had good stuff when I warmed up, and I didn't think I pitched badly. I didn't want to come out of the game.
bad couple exactly good pitches sixth
Through five, I did exactly what I wanted to do with most of the pitches. In the sixth inning, just made a couple bad pitches to some good hitters. That was it.
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.
came good himself piece pitching randy solid together trying until
They told me when I came over here that we were trying to piece it together until we could get over the injuries, ... Between Small, myself, even Proctor making that one start, we've done a pretty good job. If we get Randy back to being himself and Jaret pitching the way he can, we'll have a solid rotation.
good needed pitches throw
I was able to throw everything for strikes, ... I was able to make pitches when I needed to. It was a good day.
advantage coming good kept mentality opportunity pitch realized simplest
In the simplest terms, I kept the same mentality coming over here, but I also realized I was getting the opportunity to pitch on a really, really, really good team. And I had to take advantage of it.
good hurt
I had a pretty good spring. I don't think I hurt myself at all. We'll see what happens.
colorado eyes figured good knows might nobody open opportunity team waste york
I don't want to waste an opportunity to play on this team and be good on this team. Nobody knows when they'll get an opportunity to play for the New York Yankees. . . . I figured this is my opportunity to not only be good here but also to open people's eyes and let them know that, hey, I might have been in Colorado struggling, but I feel that I'm a pretty good pitcher.
good
I'm thinking, 'Without this team, I wouldn't have done as good as I have.'
lies win
I see what lies ahead, ... It's win or go home.
