bullpen felt mac maybe throw today trip trying velocity
Like Mac said, I was trying to throw too hard, and that's maybe why I was everywhere, so we made a trip to the bullpen today and I felt better. The velocity was better.
against game guy last maybe roger seeing thinking tough winning
He's such a tough guy in pitching. We're not thinking about winning against Roger Clemens, we were thinking about just seeing him, that it's maybe the last game - and that we won.
everybody help leader maybe rotation
Everybody has experience, just not as much as Kip. Maybe the rotation doesn't have a leader now. Maybe it's up to everybody to help everybody -- like a committee.
four guys knew score
Those guys ... one hit, and they can score four runs. I knew it was going to be a big situation.
great job people season
We have some great pitchers. They do the job and know how to pitch. During the season we can show people that we can get it done.
experience focus games good trying
That was a good experience for me. The games were very emotional. That's better for your focus and trying to get right for the season.
feels forward great looking since spring training
It feels great since this is my first arbitration contract. Now, I'm looking forward to spring training and the season.
enjoy moment throw
When you have too much pressure, sometimes you don't throw well. I have to just enjoy the moment and everything will be fine.
ball enjoy good moment throw
When you have that much pressure, you don't throw good sometimes. I have to enjoy the moment and don't think too much, just play ball and everything is going to be fine.
happened last mind
I don't try to think too much. That's what happened last year: I thought too much. My mind was lost.
continue control felt good hurt last mechanics move quickly velocity work year
I felt good (Sunday). I used all my pitches. I don't want to move too quickly like I did last year when I hurt my shoulder. I'm going to continue to work on my mechanics. My control is better, my mechanics are better, and my velocity is coming.
felt pitches threw took
I felt good, but I threw too many pitches and that's why they took me out,
everybody forget good happens knows start winning
Everybody knows it's how you finish, not how you start. We're not winning now, so we're going to forget this game. We know we can start winning games. It's part of baseball. This happens to the good teams.
feeling good quick relaxed throwing
I was feeling good and throwing hard, but I was going too quick through my delivery. I have to be more relaxed and more consistent.
