bit command downside execute gave guess home result results tells
I gave up two bombs. Everything else was pretty good. That tells me that when I execute my pitches, I'm getting the results I want. I guess the downside is the result of the two home runs. I've got to get a little bit better command on my fastball.
I know about it but it's not something that is on my mind, ... I just want to get it out of the way.
bigger closer impact teammates
The closer it is to home, the bigger impact it has. You're a little closer to it and more sympathetic to it when one of your own teammates and friends is impacted.
chasing difference missing pitch seem seems waiting
The difference this year, ... he doesn't seem like he's chasing as much. He just seems a little more patient, waiting to get the pitch he's waiting for. Obviously, a lot of times when he's getting it, he's not missing it.
chances games giving pitch sure trying win
All I can do is keep trying to pitch and keep giving us chances to win, ... Sure it is frustrating when you try and go out there and win games and do not.
acts easy issue means
He can issue all the apologies he wants. That's the easy thing to do. But we'll see if he means it by how he acts every day after that.
sync trying
He and I were pretty well in sync today, and I think he's pretty comfortable with what I'm trying to do.
calls few phone sure
I'm sure I'll get a few phone calls before the day's over,
tunnels giving vision
It gives me a sense of tunnel vision.
team world series
There's nothing better than a team that comes out of nowhere and finds themselves in the World Series.
baseball kids league
Everything with me is normal except when I pitch (in Fenway Park). When I pitch here it's a little different. There is a little more anxiety to go along with the nostalgia because this is the park I grew up with as a kid. This is the park I dreamed of playing Major League Baseball in and no other ballpark has that feeling for me. There are a lot more family and friends here than in my normal starts and I want to pitch well here.
hockey way teeth
I had all my own teeth and I wanted to keep it that way.
mistake hate games
As much as you love to finish games and all that kind of stuff, at the same time as a starting pitcher you hate to come out of a game where your closer has no margin for error, ... So at least with one guy on, Braden's got a little margin to make a mistake.
reality guy perception
You can't tell me what we're doing right now is not working. The perception is, well, it's not. I don't deal in perception. I want to deal in reality. The reality of the matter is that the percentage of guys who are taking has gone way down.
