You're not really focused on necessarily getting guys out more than you are trying to execute some pitches. Most of the time, we have in our plan just trying to get ahead with our fastball and mix in some breaking balls.

We're all right. We worked it out. Just a little difference of opinion.
fit good great guys mix pitching
I like the feel of our team, man. All the guys have just fit in great and are great guys. I'm excited, I really am. With our pitching and mix of guys we have, I think we're in good shape.

He doesn't know many guys. Signs, philosophies, everything is completely different to him. ... But Luis is one of those guys who plays on instincts. He's got a lot of talent, so he'll be fine.
