I probably hit less than 50 percent of my spots. I wasn't good today at all. You've got to accept that. That's part of the game right there. Either you're on or you're off. Today was off. They hit me. They know I throw strikes. Maybe I threw too many.

I was going fastball away and just overthrew it a little bit. It kind of rode back closer to the plate than I wanted.
