front good pitches using zone
I was using his aggressiveness to my advantage. He's a good hitter. He's come up clutch. I was able to make pitches up and out of the zone and get him out in front a little on off-speeds. That was the key.
bad beat fell gave good guy key needed pitches tough
I wasn't going to give into Sweeney, ever. That's the one guy in the lineup I'm not going to get beat by. Some of the other walks, I made some bad pitches and fell behind. I think the key was I never gave in. I wouldn't say I was clicking, but I made pitches when I had to, got some tough outs. That was one of the things I needed to be able to do. When you're able to make pitches, you feel pretty good about it. That was the story tonight.
both helped locate maybe naturally pitches plate sides terms three tough work
The curveball is something that doesn't just come naturally to me. It was always tough for me to work on. Maybe being able to work on the three pitches and locate all three to both sides of the plate has helped me, in terms of location.
broke good maybe pitching problem rest
Maybe it broke the seal. We've got a pretty good pitching staff. I don't think it's going to be a problem the rest of the year.
maybe next skip talk time
Maybe I'll try to skip (the start) next time it comes up. I'll go have a talk with the manager.
execution terrible
That was terrible execution at that time. Things weren't going my way, and that capped it off right there.
bit felt good pitch
It felt good to get out there and pitch again, ... Get back to a little bit of normalcy.
ballplayer call glad good guys
You know, he's a very good ballplayer and very sound, fundamentally. The thing is, we have a lot of guys in that outfield. I'm just glad I don't have to call those shots.
bad games lose realize somewhere
You lose that many one-run games - it's tough. You realize that somewhere down the line, there's something you could've done that could've really made a difference. ... I'm competitive. I didn't like the way things were going. Things kind of snowballed. I reacted in a bad way.
along coming couple feels starts takes year
Usually it takes a couple starts to really feel it, but this year it's coming along a little quicker. Right now, everything just feels in sync.
battling pressure putting
We're still out there battling and putting pressure on them.
cry knows
He knows he did his job. He's not going to cry about it.
affect definitely felt lying
I'd be lying if I said it didn't affect me. I definitely felt a little uncomfortable.
might slow
We're going through so much (roster) turnover, (the WBC) might slow us down early.
