good sit talk time
When I go home, it's time for me to get away, and we don't have to sit there and talk baseball. It's good just to sit there and relax.
happens time
Just something that happens at this time of year.
help hindrance simple staff youngest
We have to help each other out. We have to keep it simple and not get overwhelmed. I don't think having the youngest staff will have any hindrance on us.
clubhouse easy free fun game hard keeps
He's fun to be around in the clubhouse -- a real character. Dewy is just ... Dewy. He's hard to explain. He keeps the game free and easy by just being himself.
great helped hooked stuff tickets
He hooked me up with tickets and helped me get some stuff signed. He's a great guy, very down to earth.
gave hits overall strikes threw worked
I worked on my pitches. I gave up some hits and some runs, but overall it was good. I threw a lot of strikes and got up to 90 pitches.
few morning ridden seem talked
We talked to them this morning and they seem to be doing good. They've ridden out a few of them, so they're doing good.
battle expecting helped innings rough trying weird
It was weird to get my first at-bat before I pitched my first inning. That helped me relax. I was just trying to get through the first inning. That was my goal. I was expecting to have some rough innings and have to battle through it.
execute happened hard hit time
Pretty much the whole time I didn't execute any pitches. Then they hit them hard ... and that's all that happened today.
challenge good hitters hot maybe middle threw thrown
I wanted to challenge him inside, but I threw it right over the middle of the plate. He's hot now, and that's what good hitters do. Maybe I should have thrown him something off-speed. I don't know. But I'm not going to back down from anybody.
compete competitor spring
You don't want to show them everything you've got. But you want to go out there and compete and not give them a lot of runs. I'm a competitor and, even during spring training, I don't like to give up a lot of runs.
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.
