execute felt game good
You can never tell if you're going to have a good game like this. I felt like I was able to execute my pitches.
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.
baseball jerry likes seems
Jerry seems like an old-school baseball guy. He likes the hard-nosed, go get 'em attitude.
change control hit speeds
I think of myself more as a control pitcher. I can get it up in the mid-90s every once in a while, but I just try to change speeds and hit my spots.
emotions
I get excited. I just don't show a lot of emotion.
affect approach couple last leagues minor pitches throw
I feel good. I didn't throw a lot of pitches in my last start. I feel comfortable about being able to go (Sunday). I've done it a couple of times in the minor leagues when I've been up or down a level. It won't affect how I approach the game.
half rushing since week
I was rushing on some of them, but it's been a week and a half since I've thrown.
business came care efficient harder took work
We had a very efficient spring. We came in, we took care of business, we got our work done and we got out of there. It makes you want to work harder to get it right from the get-go. If we get it right, we're going to be done with our work and get out of there.
honor oldest
It would be an honor. This is the oldest franchise.
attacking couple great guy guys night past sit struggled threw throw trying watch
You're always trying to one-up the guy that threw the night before. It's great to be able to sit back and watch the guys do their thing - get outs and throw well. It's something we've struggled with the past couple years, and we just have to go out and keep attacking the opposing hitters.
neat
That's going to be really neat to see.
offense worry
With the offense we have, all you have to worry about is (making) your pitches. We know the offense is going to score.
baseball three toughest
Those are three of the toughest outs in baseball.
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.
