agent asked season
My agent asked me before the season if I'd be interested. I wasn't.
across games guys move run
You'll run across games like that that you will lose. You just have to move on. I could tell from the first inning that guys were pumped.
bases doubt good innings mind situation
That was huge. There was no doubt in my mind that was the right decision. You have to go for it in a situation with the bases loaded. If anything, I had one or two good innings left.
battling heads
Yeah, we'd like to be 10-6 or 11-5, but right now we're not. We've got to keep our heads up, keep battling out and just get going.
beginning
From the beginning I just didn't have it. I was out of control.
bottom good
I didn't have good stuff. I'm not contributing. That's the bottom line.
perfect
Those things happen. I'm not going to be perfect all the time.
handed home tail
We've had our (butts) handed to us. But are we going to go home with out tail between our legs? No. We just need to keep battling.
depends games happen seasons trying win
Personally, I?m trying to win every game. If it happens, it happens. A lot of seasons it depends on your teammates. To win 20 games you have to have a lot of things happen in your favor. You need a little luck.
guys might ready risk season time
This might be the only time you might get anything out of me. This is the way I look at it: I just don't know why we're not doing this after the World Series. Guys already have their season in, they're ready to go. Why risk an injury? It's really ridiculous.
early five fresh innings last might opposed
You might want to look up the first five innings as opposed to the last four, when they're on base. You're still fresh early in the game.
sure
That's up to him. But I'm sure it's unlimited.
consistent focus
I just focus on things, day by day. I just want to be as consistent as I can.
hitting spots
I just wasn't hitting my spots like I wanted to.
