You've got to make your pitches, no matter who you're facing. I did not execute my pitches and paid the price.
I think it's important that the catcher realize that even if you think something is going well and it really isn't but you're convinced it is, that he still try to get you through the game when things aren't going well.
I think the pieces are starting falling into place now which is good because you've got a month and a half left, so every game is important,
I think you've seen a different pitcher compared to earlier in the year. It's very evident that my mechanics are there, my velocity is there and everything is there that wasn't there on a consistent basis.
I think you see not a sense of urgency, but a little more importance on every game. I suspect it will be that way the rest of the year.
I think Whirlpool has the synergies to be able to pull this off. Maytag is not going to make it by themselves, and nobody does the laundry business better than Whirlpool.

I was counting on myself to go out and pitch a quality ballgame, ... Hopefully I'll have another chance to redeem myself.
I was able to get my pitches in and didn't have to extend myself, which is nice. I was just glad that it didn't get postponed. I warmed up and I warmed up good.
I was just trying to get to class on time when I was 19,
It's been a long year, a frustrating year. But if that's been the problem, I'll continue to work hard on it. To pitch the way I did today, that's the reason why, I believe. Having inconsistent mechanics resulted in inconsistent velocity and inconsistent arm angles. The bottom line is, I've been inconsistent on the mound.
It's been a long and frustrating year. But if that's been the problem, hopefully I'll continue to work hard on it and pitch the way I did today.
It's no longer a marathon. It's a sprint now. Every game is critical.
It was nice to be able to get out of there and not have to go seven, eight, nine innings and throw all those pitches,
