family five longer longest seen telling three today weeks
Someone was just telling me today that he hadn't seen his family for five weeks. That's tough. Two to three weeks is the longest I've ever been away from my family, and I wouldn't want to have to go any longer than that.
antsy home seven sitting start
It's just frustrating. I was sitting home antsy and bored, so I got here early. I was sitting around for seven hours, and this was my first start of the year. You want to get it done.
crawl figure forget hole trying
Again, I'm not getting it done, ... It's frustrating. I've been trying to figure it out all year. It's one of those things I can't explain. I'm embarrassing myself. I'd like to just crawl into a hole and forget what's happened.
injury per
The injury is long gone. Everything is 100 per cent.
couple feels felt
Hopefully, it's gone. I haven't felt it in a couple of days. It feels back to normal.
proud seems
It's nothing I'm proud of, but it seems to have become a part of my game, ... It's not something you try to do, obviously.
focus nice puts relax
A seven-run inning really puts you at ease. You can go out and relax and focus on what you have to do. It's nice to have a lead.
bottom hitting matter sixth strikes throwing tough
It was one of those nights, ... I had things working. It was just a matter of getting ahead, throwing strikes and getting the first out. They've got a tough lineup. When you have Howard hitting sixth or seventh, you've got some big boppers at the bottom of the lineup.
biggest huge pitches
I didn't think he was going to go away. It was a huge out. After 10 pitches to get that first out, it was probably the biggest out of the game.
crawl explain guess man
I can't explain it, ... I guess you have to take it like a man but I'm embarrassing myself. I'd like to crawl in a hole.
felt good
I was going good and I felt good,
guy hitting next pitching staff start top wants wear
A lot of it was myself and the start I got off to. I've always said it's contagious, like hitting or anything else. When you're pitching good, the next guy wants to go out and top the guy before him. When things are going bad, it can wear on the whole staff and not just one person.
answer came clubhouse games gone home last matter media obviously rather sneak soon supposed taught
We had to answer to the media after the game, no matter what. There were obviously a lot of games last year, more than any in the past, that I would have rather just gone home as soon as the game ended, just sneak out of the clubhouse and not even show my face, but that's not the way you're supposed to do it. You've got to be a professional, and that's part of it. That's how I was taught when I came up.
early gave nice
We got that nice early lead, and I gave it right back up.
