bite happened lip wished
The inning just didn't go our way. A lot of things happened I wished that didn't happen. It's one where you have to bite your lip and do as much as you can.
ball behind cubs defense fans fun grateful guys hard hit played strikes threw tonight
The fans are enthusiastic, so it's fun to come here and play well. The Cubs have hit me before, but tonight I threw strikes and the guys played defense behind me. And he (Pena) has hit the ball hard all year. I was grateful he did it again.
base gets guy lazy pick runner second struggling third
It's something we're going to try, because you never know. I mean, during the season, it could come up where you've got a runner on second and third or first and second, with two outs, and you've been struggling to get out of the inning, and a guy kind of gets lazy off second base - boom, pick him off, inning over.
anybody behind defense game good hurt pitches tough warming whether
That's a very tough lineup, and anybody in it can hurt you. I executed my pitches and had good defense behind me. You can never tell warming up whether you're going to have a good game like that.
came execute plain swinging tried
They came out swinging from the get-go. I didn't execute my pitches, plain and simple. I didn't have it today. I tried to battle.
ball five four good hit key picked plays
I was getting them to hit the ball on the ground. Edwin picked me up, made about four or five good plays for me. Those plays come up key getting you out of an inning.
ball half hit home inner power ran second trying
The second at-bat, on the home run, I was trying to go in, and the ball ran out over the inner half of the plate. That's his power zone. Give him credit. He's fast, and he's out there trying to get on base, but he can hit for power.
against emotions game happy tough
I get excited. I just don't show a lot of emotion. But I'm happy to get a win, especially against those guys. Tough game yesterday.
