babies baby last seem settled stuff whirlwind
There was a lot of stuff going on for me last year. New team, the contract, new baby ... it was a whirlwind last year. Things really seem a lot more settled now.
noticing trouble
It's something you'd have trouble noticing by yourself.
catch fun good guess hard hit laugh
It's something fun to laugh about. Hopefully, I'm not that hard to handle. But I guess it's a good thing. If it's hard for them to catch it, it's probably hard for them to hit it. So I'll take it.
bit command early exactly
It's not exactly how I wanted to get things going this year. Early on, my command wasn't exactly what I wanted it to be. It was a bit of a battle.
backed bend games
They backed me up. One of those games that was all bend and no break.
days hit seemed
It was just one of those days where I didn't make many pitches. When I did, they seemed to hit them.
best early harder honor represent team
It's an honor to represent your country, but as a pitcher, it's harder to be where you need to be that early in March. I have to put what's best for my team first.
felt gas worst
There was no decision. I still felt strong. I still had some gas in my tank. I probably had my worst at-bat ever.
bad head listening might pack
After the first game, listening to the commentators, you would have thought we might as well pack things up and head back to Atlanta. But I think we showed we're not too bad either.
believe listening might pitching takes
After the first game, listening to all the commentators, we might as well have packed things up. . . . I like our guys, too. We believe if our pitching takes off, we're going to be tough.
gave gotten guys nails runs stepped
Farnsworth has been nails for us all year, but he gave up the runs tonight. Without him, we wouldn't have gotten here. All the other guys stepped up too.
chance coach coming pitching reasons three tough weeks
There's more reasons not to play for me personally. We have a new pitching coach coming in, and it would be tough for me to take two or three weeks off away from it. I'd like to have a chance to get to know him and him get to know me.
concern gas macho run strong
I've never been a big complete-game guy. My concern is how strong I am at the end of the year. I don't need to be macho and run out of gas at the end of the year.
afraid good three
I've been afraid to use it, but all of a sudden, there it was. I haven't had a good one in three years, but it was there today.
