They were seeing the ball like it was a basketball.
They hit some balls hard. I never worry about our defense. I think we have one of the best defenses.
I was throwing strikes and getting ahead. All of a sudden, I threw like eight (nine) balls in a row and I was like, 'What's going on?' I felt fine. I don't know what happened.
I'm able to spot my fastball and everything works off that. I'm trying to take it one game at a time, so let's just say I'm in a good groove.
I wanted to put the ball in play and he put good wood on it. It was a sinker. ... He hit it to the right part of the ballpark and the wind was blowing that way.
He looks mean, like he's going to knock the ball out of the park. Maybe we caught him at a cold time.
I was getting by, but I was running a lot of long counts 3-0, 3-1. Then in that one inning, the fifth, they got a lot of balls, like grounders, through on me and they just kept doing it.
