breaking demeanor gonna head knock pitch putting start stay throw whatever
You're not ever going to see me start putting my head down. I'm going to do whatever I have to do to get out of it. I'm going to throw whatever pitch is working that day. If I have to throw 75 breaking balls, then that's what it's gonna be. My demeanor is that you can knock me down, but you know I'm not going to stay down.
eighth maybe relax whether worry
It's just one of those things. Maybe we need to just get out there and relax and not worry about whether it's the first inning or the eighth inning.
bad compete good tricks
It's good and bad -- you don't want to show them everything you got, but I'm not going any tricks at you. I'm going to do the same thing each and every outing, compete and go after you. I'm not going to try to do anything different.
couple eight good guy hits innings lose pitch seven strength sure throw whatever
It was one of those innings where you lose it for a couple of guys, throw a good pitch but then a guy hits a double. Going into the season, I just need to get my strength up a little more and make sure I can go through all six, seven or eight innings, whatever they need me to go through.
catch defense letting start strikes sure team throwing
I wanted to make sure I was getting the team innings. I think we all need to start throwing more strikes and letting our defense catch the ball.
behind falling good maybe
It was good to get back out there. I think I was maybe a little too anxious. I was falling behind hitters.
carry hit mind threw
I threw some fastballs and they hit them. It was just one of those days. You put it in the back of your mind and carry it into the season.
fit guys knowing learn tried trying
I was a little nervous. I was just trying to learn from all the guys -- knowing I was going to be one of the first ones cut. I just tried to fit in where I could.
ball
I was little too quick. I couldn't put the ball where I wanted.
behind fell
That pretty much killed me. I fell behind on everybody.
