Puck would've wanted us to go out and play.
battling hopefully looking rhythm
This one was pretty rough. I think it's probably the roughest one I've had. I just have to keep battling away and hopefully find that rhythm that I'm looking for.
adjust breaking count early extra good history hitters pitcher pitchers pitches plate presented ready recognize throw whatever works
A lot of times, when a pitcher has a history of good control, the hitters will come up really revved to hit the first pitch. Sometimes that works out for them and sometimes it doesn't. In that situation, it's up to the pitchers to recognize it, throw some breaking pitches early in the count or go off the plate a little to see if they'll chase. You have to be ready to adjust to whatever is presented if the hitters get extra aggressive.

This organization really stresses not walking guys. I think that as a staff, we've sort of been able to feed off each other in that regard. You learn. I know that when I walk guys, most of the time they are going to score.

He's amazing because he overpowers guys and still has finesse, too.
ready slider
I'm ready to go. My slider is working pretty well, and that's my fourth-best pitch. It's working better for me this year.

I made a couple mistakes and they beat me today. I felt pretty good out there. I just made a couple mistakes.
bats good pitches
I made some good pitches there, and our bats did the rest,
begins hard home season settled takes time
I don't think the season really begins for about two weeks. We were just getting in off the road, and that's hard enough. It takes time to get settled in at home and get comfortable.

They keep everyone loose. That was something I thought about when I signed back here.
