felt finally game hitting pitches
I finally got back into my game groove. I felt like I was making my pitches a little better and hitting my spots. Then it all ended.
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.
cautious felt game hitting pitches tough
I know they're going to be cautious with me, but it's just a tough one to swallow, ... I felt like I got back into my game groove. I felt like I was making my pitches better, hitting my spots, and it all ended.

Seeing that money getting spent, I think, is motivation for all of us to do better. Kevin is saying to us that the money's going to be available if you perform.

I was very disappointed the other day. Now, I want to get out there even more. I'm tired of sitting here watching everybody play. I want to go have some fun.

I'm still trying to make the team. I never take anything for granted. I always work hard. For me, it kind of adds pressure, and I like that. I have motivation to work if I think like that. There are expectations of me, and I love it. I want to work hard to meet those.
boils game guy hit walk
For me, this game boils down to the first inning. I walk a guy and make one mistake. He's going to hit that pitch.
trying work
Nothing is a given. Anything can happen. I'm just getting my work in and trying to get better.
folks stick value
My folks had an idea of what my value was. And they wanted to stick with it.

I felt as good as I have all spring in the second and third inning. Then I got a little tired, left some pitches up and... well, I'm just going to forget about that fourth inning.
behind fell key pitches trying
I fell behind a lot, but I was able to make some key pitches in key situations. I was just trying to make every pitch too nasty.
deal sure time
I feel like I could pitch, but at the same time they want to be cautious, and that's OK. I'll deal with it and make sure I'm 100 percent.
