earlier hang locked pitching starting tried
The starting pitching hasn't locked it down like it did earlier in the year, so I just tried to hang in there.
bit breathing compare easier eight facing feels game gives goes hole league mentally national nine pitch pitcher power tough wearing yankees
Facing the Yankees 19 times a year, that lineup is so power packed -- even the eight hole and nine hole sometimes. It's tough to pitch to. It's mentally wearing on you as the game goes on. For me to be over here in the National League, just to have the pitcher in the nine hole, gives me a little bit of breathing room. I don't think there's any lineup in the National League that can compare with that one. For me, it feels like it's easier to get over the hump.
coin pitch pitching
If I have to pitch out of the 'pen, I'll pitch out of the 'pen. The way I'm pitching right now, if it comes down to a coin flip, I'm going to lose.
coach enjoy hands knowing laid looking nice personally pitching throwing unless
It's nice to have that familiarity, knowing how you should be looking and how you should be throwing the ball. I personally enjoy a pitching coach who's very laid back, very hands off for the most part, unless you have a problem.
almost believe identical last lucky pitch throw
I got lucky again. I'll just keep hacking. I really just couldn't believe where the pitch was. It was almost identical to last time. I thought he was going to throw me away and it was still kind of middle-in a little bit.
approach couple far felt few guys jason pitch pleased selection strong
I wasn't pleased with the results, but I felt strong in my first couple of innings. Working with Jason will take a few times to get on the same wavelength, as far as pitch selection and how I want to approach getting guys out.
hitting
I was in another world after hitting it out.
air balls luckily
Luckily for us, we just got more balls in the air than they did.
bases happen threw
It especially can't happen with the bases loaded. I just hesitated and threw it away.
advice agreed contract deal love reason red sign signed simply strong town
I agreed to the contract with the strong advice not to sign it simply for the reason that I want to play in this town and I love being a Red Sox. I wouldn't have signed this deal in any other place.
kindness swing
I'm pretty much over it now. I'm kind of getting into the swing of things.
blinds cia conspiracy guys house looking might shut strange theories
Manny is a strange guy. Outward, he's happy-go-lucky. On the inside, he's got a lot of conspiracy theories going on. Obviously, Manny might be one of those guys when he's 50 years old he might be in his house with all the blinds shut and looking out and the CIA is after him. You don't know, man. You don't know what's going on his head.
guys knows playing pressure wonderful
He knows when to put pressure on guys and when not to. It's wonderful playing under him. He never kills us in the paper.
chest high left middle missed neck outer trying
It was an 0-2 fastball. I was trying to go up around his neck at the middle of the plate. I missed and left it chest high on the outer half.
