That's baseball, ... It's not always fun. It's a game of inches and it didn't go my way tonight.

I look at it that I'm excited to be a part of the team. They haven't told me it's my job, but I'm very confident in myself.
breaking command good
I just wasn't good tonight. I didn't have any command of my change-up and breaking ball. It kind of snowballed on me.

I'm pleasantly surprised with the way I felt today. A big weight has been lifted off my mind.
along bumps couple good last matter months physically ready winter year
I'm ready to go. Last year I had a couple of bumps and bruises along the way but those winter months were good to me. No matter who you are, if you play in that many games, you're going to have some things that aren't physically right with you and I'm not bionic.
couple good last numbers year
I'm very confident. You take out a couple of appearances last year and my numbers are as good as anyone's in the league. I've been through this before. This is something I want.

It needed to happen sooner or later, and it was important for us to win three in a row now and take it on the road. It seems like we've been on the road all year, but we have to play better on the road.

It's just a little strain. I felt it tense up. I wanted to stay in, but I'm glad I didn't keep going.
cap fun looking stayed strong tip
It was a change-up down and in, where I wanted it. I don't know if he was looking for it. You've got to tip your cap to him. That's not fun to do. He stayed back and just flicked his wrist. Strong guy.

call fun good guy hat inches looking pitch tip
It was 3 inches off the ground, ... What can you do? I don't know if he was looking for it. Whatever. You've got to tip your hat to a guy in that situation. It's not fun to do, but that's why they call it the big leagues. It was a good pitch in a good location.

They're both somewhere in the top five. I think ours has the potential to be one of the best ever.
