I'm a smarter pitcher now. With more pitches to rely on, I've been a lot more effective.

I kind of figured that's what it was going to be. It's tough.

He got the fat part of the bat on it. Other than that one pitch, I'm real happy with my performance.

I have a lot more confidence this year. I was a little intimidated last year. You're gonna get hit around, but it's how you handle it. And I think I did OK.
