nervous pitch
When I was on the mound, I was pretty relaxed. I was focused. I don't know what it is, but I'm more nervous before I pitch and then after I come out of the game. When I'm in there, I don't feel any of that.
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.
pitches
I still made pitches when I had to.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
advantage asked athlete chance opportunity pitch
I'm getting an opportunity to show that I can pitch in big games, and all you want as an athlete is a chance. You want a chance to be able to do big things, and I'm getting it. This is everything I've asked for, and you've got to take advantage because you never know when it will come again.
ask chance opportunity pitch
I'm getting an opportunity to show that I can pitch and pitch in big games, ... That's all you can ask as an athlete, a chance to do big things.
guy happened pitch ready
It just happened where I'm the guy that has to get skipped. I'll be ready to pitch Saturday.
conditions constantly pitch pitcher rather
It wasn't that bad. I'd much rather pitch in these conditions than be a hitter. At least as a pitcher you're constantly moving.
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.
ahead defense letting pitches playing staying strikes throwing
I've been getting ahead of hitters, throwing all my pitches for strikes and really just staying aggressive, letting the defense play. That's something they've been doing is playing outstanding defense.
