“When you face up against upper-echelon pitchers like Sheets, you have to minimize your mistakes. I made one, the location just wasn't good at that time. He (Lee) did a good job of keeping it fair.”
“I get a little glimpse of it, and then it goes away. That's the thing that's frustrating to me. I'll go out there, have three or four good starts, and then have two horrible ones.”
“If you can own the down and away strike, it's a huge advantage for you. But if you have trouble owning that, it can almost work against you. Roger is, I think, a little more, uh, what's the word I'm looking for? I guess liberal.”
“I felt real good out there. I threw a lot of fastballs and the fastball was down. That's going to be a big pitch for me. I had to get the feel for it. Today was a good start.”
