ahead biggest bit everybody guessing knew mix park rhythm settled start throw
I was able to get into a little bit of a rhythm there. The biggest thing was getting ahead. Once I got ahead I could start to mix in off-speed stuff, keep them guessing and off-balance. In the first inning I'd be 2-0 and everybody in the park knew I was going to throw a fastball. Once I settled down it made things a lot easier.
adrenaline basketball bit bounce days defense excitement feeling fine good high locker opening reminded room rough school settled start
I got off to a little bit of a rough start to say the least. There was a lot of excitement and adrenaline being my first opening day start. It reminded me of my high school basketball days when we used to bounce around in the locker room before a game. That was the feeling I had. It was fine once I settled down and let my defense work. It was back to the good old Henry.
