beginning close hard knew trying
I was trying too hard at the beginning, ... I wanted to keep it close because I knew we could come back.
backed movement trying
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.
arm basically best felt helped hurt losing mechanics screwed toward trying weird worked
When I first started throwing, I was really screwed up, mechanically, ... Trying to come back from being hurt, losing my arm slot, basically everything felt weird to throw. I worked with Billy, and he really helped me get back in sync. Toward the end, I thought my mechanics were the best they'd been in a while.

coming start trying
Coming off what happened, it was a start I wanted to get under my belt, ... And in the first inning, I was just trying too hard. These are big games.
care competing help pitch stay sure today trying
I'm just trying to take care of what I need to take care of and stay away from everything else. Today sure doesn't help things out. You want to pitch well when you're competing for a spot. When you don't pitch well, it's frustrating.
anybody hit time trying
I'm not trying to hit anybody first time out.
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.
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.
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.
catch headed playing
Playing catch for the first day, I didn't really feel it at all. I think I'm headed in the right direction.
felt good pitches struggled
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.
played
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.
