saw turned watched
Just getting ahead. I watched Smally do it all day yesterday, and I saw how that turned out for him.
amazing break looks watching
The amazing thing. Is that he has got one pitch, to do all that with one pitch. Watching him, he looks like he doesn't even break a sweat.
attitude bad good guys leads loud people pick positive trying watch whether
When you watch him play, you see what he does on the field. Off the field, when you get over here, you see it's not about him getting on people and being that loud kind of leader. He leads by example. His energy, his positive attitude is contagious. He's just always trying to pick guys up, whether he has a good or bad night.
everybody grew watching win yankee year
Everybody around me was a Yankee fan, ... We grew up watching them win year after year.
extremely face nervous sitting watching
I'm not nervous when I face anybody. I'm extremely nervous when I'm sitting down watching a game.
change following great hitters kept mixed watch
It's great following him. He told me to watch the hitters to see if they change their approach. I mixed it up and kept them off balance.
anxious gets monotonous physically season
It gets kind of monotonous doing this over and over again. But once you physically feel good, you get anxious for the season to start.
failed goal heart mindset playoffs ready realistic season ultimately win
Over here is a different mindset from them. You know you're getting ready for a championship season, and a season where you know in your heart that you're going to the playoffs and that ultimately your realistic goal is to win the World Series. And if you don't, then it's a failed season.
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.
coming giving home start
It didn't start well. Coming out and giving up a two-run home run.
against pitching team tough
I thought I pitched decent, not great. It's tough to come back against a team like that, with their pitching staff.
helping race written
I'm happy. Being in a race and helping the team, I don't think I could have written a better script.
couple needed pressure struggling
I wouldn't say I needed it desperately. But after struggling the first couple of times you put more pressure on yourself.
confidence knowing
I take all the confidence in the world knowing that I did get out of those jams.
