pitching crowds stadiums
I love pitching in front of big crowds and in huge stadiums.
looks throwing scouting
I look at scouting reports, but don't let them dictate what I'm throwing.
too-much now-and-then plates
Because I have so much life on my pitches, I can get away with getting too much of the plate every now and then.
play balls ive-learned
I've matured a lot as a pitcher. I understand what my strengths are. I've learned that I've got a great sinker, I get a lot of ground balls, and it's easy to get a ground-ball double play.
dad play people
My dad always told me to play hard and know that the people you're competing with and against are working just as hard or harder. So don't let them out-work you.
dream perfect childhood
I really can't complain about anything. I'm living a childhood dream and I have a perfect family. There's really nothing that I'm disappointed with.
giving suffering arms
When you lose velocity off of your fastball, one thing that suffers is your off-speed pitches - the action on your off-speed pitches. Once you lose arm speed, it takes away rotation from your off-speed pitches. The rotation is what gives them the sharpness and the nastiness.
dealing good last stuff supposed worried
I was dealing with a lot of stuff last year. The contract, a new team, new teammates, a new organization, a new baby. This year, I feel more like I'm supposed to. I'm not worried about making a good first impression. I just want to come in and be myself.
game great guys played
It was an all-around effort. The guys played great baseball. We played the game right today.
pitch rough
It'll come around. We're just going through a little rough stretch. We know we can pitch better than we have.
definitely knows pitch takes talking
It's definitely not his fault. He's been really approachable for the young guys. He knows what it takes to pitch at this level. He knows what he's talking about.
confidence glad
I'm glad he's got a lot of confidence in me,
noticing trouble
It's something you'd have trouble noticing by yourself.
catch fun good guess hard hit laugh
It's something fun to laugh about. Hopefully, I'm not that hard to handle. But I guess it's a good thing. If it's hard for them to catch it, it's probably hard for them to hit it. So I'll take it.
