The couple of innings I didn't fell too good. I thought my fastball was up and I wasn't feeling real crisp. I tried to pitch today instead of overpowering guys. I just didn't think my mechanics were right.

If he said that for psychological reasons, he sure got my attention. He'll get the best out of me.

I just didn't execute. It won't happen again, I'll tell you that much.

I just tried to go out and make pitches. I had seven days off and wasn't feeling real crisp.

If you look at my pitch selection, I just tried to get them to put the ball in play rather than strike them out.

I just went out there and tried to throw strikes. I tried to stay around the plate.

I made a bad pitch. He's a great hitter,

I?m ready to do it, ... We just have to keep playing like we have been and I think we will be all right.

I'm not coming out after five innings anymore. I'm fed up with it. I might as well be a middle-relief guy if I'm doing that. I can't go 2-2, 3-2 on every guy and expect to go seven innings.

They were really loud. It felt like 100,000, so it was fun to pitch.
