He wants you to have that slow breaking ball of his in the back of your mind so he can sneak his fastball in on you. He pitched me tough. I might have swung at some bad pitches, but he gets the credit.
I couldn't pick up his fastball. I just had trouble with him.
No problem for me. I've got nothing to hide. That's the second time for me (including an MLB test), so I'm used to it.
When it's one game, especially at this time of year when hitters are still trying to feel their way through it a little bit, it's tough. As a hitter, you're not quite locked in yet.
We can't get all tight because we haven't scored that many runs or whatever. It's just three games. Obviously today was not what we want the rest of the season to be like so you just try to turn the page on this one pretty quick.
I want to keep things simple and keep my energy focused on moving forward.
