You're going to have some bad starts. I'm only human. It's nice to be able to bounce back. There were some innings that were relatively easy, but by no means is that an easy lineup.
Actually, it's the last place my dad saw me pitch, so it has always had a little bit of meaning when I pitch there.
The more consistent I get, the more comfortable I get, it's fun to go out there and be that locked into a game. It's been a while. I've pitched some good games this year where I haven't been locked in. That's the ingredient I've been missing.
That's the pitcher that everybody expected and the pitcher that I expected. It's taken me awhile to find my mechanics.
That's the pitcher that everybody expected, and that's the pitcher that I'd expected.
I was barely a .500 pitcher before my dad died and I got married and had a baby... my wife and baby brought me down to earth.
I just wanted to stay calm and trust my ability and trust my stuff and I did that all day, ... I never deviated from what I wanted to do.
I just said hi to him today. He officially retired?
I know that. The games I'm here to win are the postseason games.
I just was focused. I was not going to get all worked up about stuff.
I'm looking forward to redeeming myself in my next start against Toronto.
I'm just getting treatment right now. I'm just trying to get healthy - or healthier, I should say.
If I would have paid for a ticket to watch myself, I would have booed myself too.
I just don't know exactly what's going on at this point, ... It'd be one thing if my velocity wasn't there. But it's more location at this point, evidently.
