battling behind outing regardless spot
I got behind. Batters are more comfortable when you get behind them because they know you have to come in with strikes. It was an outing that didn't go well, period, regardless if I was battling for a spot or not.

I'm not the one to talk it. I want to go out and just do it.
adapt glad great group might ought seems successful sure year
It might be a little different, but I'm sure I can adapt to it. It's a young group of players, and everyone seems to be having fun. It ought to be a great year and a successful year. I'm glad to be a part of it.

Sometimes it's tough (to be patient). But you have to be strong-minded and understand that you have time and you're still young.

continue decent felt overall spring work worry
I can't worry about what I can't control. Of course, you know, I felt that overall I had a decent Spring Training. I'll go down, continue to work hard, and try and get better.

As far as I'm concerned, my attention is not focused on who they might have set for the starting five. I can only worry about what I can control, pitch the way I know I can pitch. I'll let everything else happen on its own. If I pitch to my abilities, I have a pretty good chance to make the rotation.
break contribute crossed focused frame leagues mind minor team
My mind frame is that I'm going to break (camp) with the team and contribute to the team like I know I can. Any thought of the minor leagues hasn't crossed my mind. I'm going in focused on one goal, one mission.
