guys maybe pitching work
I need to get that in a better area. If I'm getting guys out doing that, then that's what I need to do. If I'm still not getting guys out, if I'm still not pitching as well as I want to, then maybe I need to work on the other pitches.
fastball hitter home plate regular run seen throw trying

It was one of those deals where you had no room for error, ... They had tremendous power hitters and guys that could take you deep. That being said, you have to locate and be able to keep all our stuff down. I just enjoyed competing in that game tremendously. It was a great feeling for me.
