I just didn't have command. I usually usemy sinker as my out-pitch and tonight I couldn't throw it where and when I wanted to.
considered eighth everybody fine guys power seventh stay strike until
Before, I considered myself a power pitcher. I wanted to strike everybody out. Now I want to stay in until the seventh or eighth inning. If I only strike out one or two guys but I?m still in there in the seventh inning, that?s fine with me.
followed hours job sure
Being my first year, I want to make sure I've followed through with something completely to the end. If I have to look for a job at the end of the year, that's what I'll do, but right now I'm really concentrating. I've put in a lot of hours working. First year, got to put in a lot of time. I want to make sure I do it right the first way.

I don't know if we're running out of gas. I can't explain it, ... It's just one of those things where we're kind of in a rut right now. Our starters had a rough couple weeks, and I feel like our starters are really starting to come back and pitch well again. The hitters are having a little rough week now, too.
