boils difference ends guy walk
For me, it all boils down to the first inning. I walk a guy and then I made a mistake. It ends up being the difference in the game. It's very frustrating for me personally.
feels nice taken winning
It's nice to be back on the winning side. Life's always better when you are winning. I've taken a lot of ribbing from my teammates, but it feels great.
It was fun. You get to be a little artsy for a day.
everybody forward great handled looking spring
It was a really great atmosphere. When it ended, I really think with the way everything was handled that everybody was looking forward to spring training.
adjustment early fourth took
It took me a while to get back on track. Early in this game, I didn't feel right but I was able to make an adjustment in the fourth inning and just kind of cruised after that.
far good sit
It was good to get going, sit down a little bit, let it stiffen up and get back out there, ... I don't think I'm too far off.
bit felt game
It kind of felt like the first game of the year. I was a little bit jumpy, a little bit jittery,
games hitting team together
We're in every game. It all evens out in the end. Basically, our team is going to come together soon. Our hitting is going to come together and out pitching, too. We're right on the verge. I don't know if it is just going to take one or two games to catapult us.
veteran
You'd like to have that veteran presence. But I think if we are being successful, there is no such thing as too much youth.
along beginning came luck throwing
They got the hops and bounces. I got some luck at the beginning when I came up. I'll go along and keep throwing my game.
believe coaches structure success
There's a lot of structure with him, but that's a positive. You can tell that he and the other coaches really believe in what they are teaching. And he's had success with it, so as a player, you're going to listen.
goal happens whether
That's my goal every year. Whether it happens or not this year, I don't know.
This is going to be different. You can just tell that things are going to be different around here ... and I think it's for the better.
evening game time
This game has a way of evening things out. Our time will come.
