expected last mean stuff today
I think we expected it to be a little tighter today than it was last night. That's usually what happens, stuff tightens up overnight. But that doesn't necessarily mean anything.

I look at it as how you perform, ... You've still got a job to do, and the last couple of outings have been bad.

I tend to look on the bright side. It could be worse. It was definitely frustrating for me last year. I could have drawn up different scenarios for my first year in New York.

The ball was hit to first base, so I took a step toward there, ... and then out of the corner of my eye, I saw the bat and it was kind of like the Seattle thing, at the last second, and I just kind of tried to move away.

It was definitely frustrating for me last year. I could've drew up different scenarios for my first year in New York, but it's just what happens.
change definitely excellence game guys longer maintain period smarter
I think there's definitely something to having guys around who have been there before, who can tell you how to change your game to keep up and maintain excellence over a period of time. I mean, it's pretty obvious: the longer you play, the smarter you get.

Playing catch for the first day, I didn't really feel it at all. I think I'm headed in the right direction.

I struggled in the first, but I made some pitches when I had to, ... I felt good out there. I felt a flow, I was getting in a rhythm.

I thought it was a big game. With the way they've played us, to come in here and get the first one in the series, that's a big win.

I might have been thinking about that now if my back didn't give out for a little bit. Right now, all of my focus is on getting back into a game.

You just hope he's able to handle it all. It can be tough to live up to the expectations.

I was trying too hard at the beginning, ... I wanted to keep it close because I knew we could come back.

I was trying too hard, ... After that, I got better movement and backed off a little.
bit good ground holes stuff trying
I think I got a little bit tired, I didn't really have good stuff all day, ... I was trying to get some ground balls, but they got through the holes and I couldn't get out of it.
