bull feels throw until watch
I'm more of a feel pitcher. If something's wrong, I don't watch a video. I go throw in the bull pen until it feels right.
felt time today
I'm progressing like I should be. I felt better today than I did the time before, and I felt better then than I did my first (start).
I had no other interests but baseball because I never thought I'd not make it. No. Never.
cool
I really like the iPad. I think that's pretty cool.
crack mind sure
Honestly, I wouldn't mind having another crack at him. I'm sure I'll get another opportunity, hopefully.
feeling good innings kept
I kept thinking, 'hold off, rain.' I was feeling good and I wanted to get some innings under my belt.
fighting hard spot trying win
I'm trying to win that spot and I'm fighting hard for it.
best everybody felt
I don't think anybody's goal is to be mediocre. I think everybody should want to be the best. I've always felt that way. I want to be at the best at everything I do.
beat continue elated league starting streak truth win
It's my first big league win and you can't beat that. I'm kind of elated to tell you the truth. I wanted to continue the streak of our starting pitchers. That's 5-for-5 right there.
biggest guide guided middle pitch tried
I tried to guide it in there and I guided it right down the middle of the plate. If there's one pitch I'd like back it's that one. That was the biggest pitch of the game.
artist want pitching
When an artist wants to paint a painting, they have all those things in their head that they want to portray on a canvas. It's the same thing when I'm pitching. I have all these thoughts going through my head about how I want to pitch: which pitch I want to throw here, and why do I want to throw it?
curves guy lefties
I'm a power guy. Good fastball. A knuckle curve, which I can throw for strikes. A changeup which sinks down and away from lefties and I can also throw for strikes.
guy want lockers
I want to show that I can pitch well and get along with the guys in the locker room.'
school blow needs
I kind of realized I couldn't blow the ball by everybody. In high school I could do that, but now it's not going to work. I need to pitch.'
