It felt good out there. I thought I was pretty consistent in the zone. I used all my pitches. I gave up a home run, but it was just poor execution. I just tried to be too aggressive.

It's hard, but if I look at the results we've been having with the way we've been going, how I've been feeling, as anxious as I am, I know this is the best thing for me. Sometimes, I'd like to go a little faster, but they say it's not in my best interests. I'm listening to them. Every time I've gone out there, I've gotten better.
