animosity class finish gave opportunity school toward
I always want to do well, ... I don't have any animosity toward the Diamondbacks. They were always a class organization. They let me finish school before I started pitching. They gave me every opportunity to succeed.
maybe sloppy
That was a sloppy inning. Take it away, and maybe we win.
biggest doubt happy moment
That was no doubt the biggest moment of the game. I was so happy to see him get out of that.
carried clean felt game good last offense played
It felt good to have a low-scoring game, a clean game played with good defense. Our offense carried over from last night.
happens hurt lay pitches
When you give up and lay one in there is when you get hurt the most, ... It just so happens I was able to make pitches when it counted.
biggest command good mean pain pound strike zone
I didn't have good command of my pitches. I wanted to pound the strike zone and I go 2-0 to the first guy. But it doesn't mean anything. Physically, no pain no problem. That was the biggest thing.
ahead biggest count early hitters strikes throwing
Getting ahead of hitters and throwing a lot more strikes early in the count has been the biggest difference.
easier good helps location starts throwing
I've been throwing pretty good for location. I've been throwing more between starts and that helps out with location and making it easier to pitch.
corner couple establish inches inside missing nail trying
It was tough. I was trying to establish that inside part of the plate. If I can get in there for strikes, I'm usually pretty successful. I don't know if they were missing by a couple inches or what, but I just couldn't nail that inside corner like I usually do.
ben early lost picked pitching slack staff time together year
Early in the year we lost Ben for a while (to an inner-ear ailment) and as a pitching staff we picked up the slack pretty well, ... So this time we just got together and said, 'Hey, we've got to do the same thing here.'
against ahead early fastball later throwing trying
Early in the game, I established trying to get ahead (in the count) throwing my fastball down and away. When you show that to them, it makes them more aggressive. Then, you can use it against them later in the game.
build happened home next positive proud year
I've said it before: For me, personally, and the team, there were enough positive things that happened this year to build on for next year. We should all go home and feel proud about what we did.
fastball gave left second slider supposed threw
I just kind of gave in and threw him a fastball down the middle. The second one was a slider that was supposed to be down and I just left it up.
baseball game happy pitch tough win
I'm very happy to have the win and the runs, but it was a tough game to pitch in the sense that there were a lot of long innings,
