five four learned pitches three trying worried year
Pretty much just everything isn't sharp. The three pitches that I've learned this year just aren't where I need them to be, which is understandable. I'm just trying to get those pitches in as much as I can into a live situation. I've still got four or five more starts, so I'm not worried about it.
resilient work
We are a resilient team. You've got to work through those things and come out ahead.
maybe stayed
Any other ballpark, maybe it would have stayed in. Here, unfortunately, it didn't. It put me in a little bind.
good great looking opportunity
This could be very good for my career. It's a great opportunity for me. I'm looking at it as a positive.
bats definitely felt found hole pitches single time worse
They found a hole every single time they put the bats on the ball. When I look back on it, it's definitely disappointing. I've made worse pitches and I've felt worse in games. There's nothing I can do now.
miserable night
I know it's going to be a miserable night. It's already been a miserable night. But what can we do?
cross job mind time
I think about it all the time when I'm out and about, ... but I've got a job to do. It doesn't cross my mind when I'm on the mound.
elevate few fly nice pitches slider tonight
I had a nice slider tonight and I was able to elevate a few pitches on them and get fly balls.
based behind chest command fell groove last mind start stay throw year
In the back of my mind I wanted to come in here and throw well based on my last outing. I fell into a groove last year to start the season, then I had that chest strain. This year I've been making so-so pitches. I've got to keep working on my command and not get behind in counts, and just got to stay positive.
clubhouse
I didn't feel like going to the clubhouse that early.
relief tough
It's kind of a relief just to get it over with. It's been a tough day.
believe coming knew learn negative people portray spotlight time york
New York is just a world of its own. I knew that coming in, but you learn that a little more when you get put in the spotlight like that in a negative and undeserving way. It was a little frustrating at the time because people kind of believe what they read. For her it's been a little tough, because they kind of portray her in a negative light.
bit chance chill days luxury rest shoulder
They have the luxury of doing it with Trachsel here. Two days is two days; it's not a whole turn. It will give me a chance chill a little bit, rest my shoulder a little bit and then come back on Sunday.
definitely helped hit home nice run
The hit definitely helped my cause. It was nice to get the go-ahead run home in that situation.
