breaks good numbers pitches save threw
It was fine. I threw 48 pitches and that was about it. The numbers could have been better, but we'll save all the good breaks for the season.
call last michael pitch strike threw
The last pitch I threw to Michael Young, that was about all I had left. I wanted them to call that a strike so bad.
builds fortunate pitches rather situations time trying
I'd rather have a 1-2-3 inning every time but I was fortunate to make some pitches there. I always prided myself in those situations and trying to get out of them. Builds a lot of character.
builds pitch situation trying
I always prided myself in those situations, trying to get out of them. It builds a lot of character, to pitch yourself into that situation and get yourself out.
bad executive hitters pitches tough
I made some bad pitches and it was just one of those deals, I guess. That's what big-league hitters do when you don't executive pitches. They hit them hard. It's a tough lineup over there. It was just one of those things.
bad executing good guess learn mistakes move pitch positive
I'm not going to feel that good and pitch that bad very often. ... I guess I can take that as a positive point. I made some mistakes that shouldn't happen. You learn from it and move on. It was all about executing pitches. I didn't.
besides guys pitchers scoring teams three top
It's about scoring runs. Pitching, your top three pitchers are going to be out there but besides that, they are going to be yanking guys pretty quick. All the teams will do this, Houston, Philly.
innings last next pitches point spring threw
Last year, I threw so much in spring training, at this point I had 12 or 13 innings under my belt. It was ridiculous. I'm excited. I threw 60 pitches already, how many more do I have to have? Seventy-five or 80 in my next start, and from there I can go to 100, really.
against bad believed execute guy luck needed pitches pitching six
I've always believed you make your own luck. I wouldn't say I had bad luck today. I just didn't execute pitches when I needed to. Pitching against a guy (Zambrano) like that, you can't give up six runs.
obviously shame
He was here for so long, it's a shame this is how it has to end. Obviously something was really bugging him.
hung
I know I was (a factor). I hung out with him just about every day.
careful hits home reap
He does that after Carlos hits a home run. I'll just say this: You've got to be a little more careful in those situations. You reap what you sow.
careful reap
You've got to be a little more careful in those situations. You reap what you sew.
focused game intensity league minor stay work
I've got a Minor League game on Friday. I just need to keep the intensity and stay focused and get out there and get my work in.
