finally hold relax second tried
After the second inning, I just started to relax and let it go. I just tried to hold on. We finally made our move.
ball helped hitters inside pitch
It really helped me get the ball inside on right-handed hitters more. I like to pitch inside. It's where I'm most effective.
ball behind confidence defense gives hit plays putting
I was putting the ball in play and the defense made a lot of big plays behind me. It gives you a lot of confidence when you can let them hit the ball and you know they can make the play.
against chance changed faced game gave guys plan spring tonight training
I faced these guys in spring training and they got me pretty good. I changed my game plan against them tonight and gave us a chance to win.
behind closer defense good maybe
A lot of things have to go right. You have to have a good defense behind you. I look at something like that, that's very hard. I could see maybe a closer doing it, someone like (Dodgers closer Eric) Gagne, if he pitched one inning at a time.
care community reaching
My wife, Kim, and I want to show that we care about the fans. Reaching out to the community is very important to us. It's not just about baseball.
against almost blue break eight expecting fact five game innings instead last mentality nine positive shut stretching
The first game after the All-Star break against the Blue Jays, I think we shut out them out and I went almost eight innings. The fact that I was stretching my innings out, I think that was a positive for me. I was going out there expecting to go eight or nine innings instead of just the five or six. I had the mentality of going eight or nine last year.
