decent opportunity pitch pitching
I think getting out of there, ... and having an opportunity to pitch every day in a decent pitching environment, it helps. I'm not going to lie.
pitches
I still made pitches when I had to.
bad couple exactly good pitches sixth
Through five, I did exactly what I wanted to do with most of the pitches. In the sixth inning, just made a couple bad pitches to some good hitters. That was it.
nervous pitch
When I was on the mound, I was pretty relaxed. I was focused. I don't know what it is, but I'm more nervous before I pitch and then after I come out of the game. When I'm in there, I don't feel any of that.
command early good kept offense pitches runs
I had pretty good stuff. I had command of all my pitches and I kept them off balance. Our offense put up runs early and that made things easier.
couple felt left pitches
I felt good. I just left a couple pitches up.
bad great pitch
I didn't get the pitch where I wanted to. It wasn't that bad of a pitch, but he's a great hitter.
fastball good hitting locate pitches speed today white
Today I could locate all my off speed pitches for strikes, I wanted to keep the White Sox off balance, ... I know they are a good hitting fastball team.
ahead defense letting pitches playing staying strikes throwing
I've been getting ahead of hitters, throwing all my pitches for strikes and really just staying aggressive, letting the defense play. That's something they've been doing is playing outstanding defense.
days might pitcher score starting team
Some days it's going to take the starting pitcher to come out and dominate, and you might win, 2-0. But for the most part, we're going to score runs. With a team like this, you don't panic.
anybody leave matters pitch ready solid sometime spring whenever
I know I'll pitch sometime during the season. I'll just leave it at that. I'll be ready to go whenever that is. I had a pretty solid spring and I don't know how much it matters to anybody else.
coming days eat either innings knew pitch sit
I knew coming in it was either going to be one of those days where I struggled, and I was going to have to sit out there and eat up innings or I was going to pitch good,
biggest concern eliminate guys pitch putting trying
I'm just trying to eliminate putting guys on base. That is the biggest concern for me. I always want to go out and pitch well. You don't want to get in those kind of jams all the time.
field leave pitcher seen worse
I haven't ever seen a pitcher leave Coors Field and become a worse pitcher.
