continue money people support type
We aren't the type of people that give money and disappear. We're the type of people that go out and continue to support what we do.
resilient work
We are a resilient team. You've got to work through those things and come out ahead.
five four learned pitches three trying worried year
Pretty much just everything isn't sharp. The three pitches that I've learned this year just aren't where I need them to be, which is understandable. I'm just trying to get those pitches in as much as I can into a live situation. I've still got four or five more starts, so I'm not worried about it.
maybe stayed
Any other ballpark, maybe it would have stayed in. Here, unfortunately, it didn't. It put me in a little bind.
good great looking opportunity
This could be very good for my career. It's a great opportunity for me. I'm looking at it as a positive.
bats definitely felt found hole pitches single time worse
They found a hole every single time they put the bats on the ball. When I look back on it, it's definitely disappointing. I've made worse pitches and I've felt worse in games. There's nothing I can do now.
good hacks obviously problem selection throwing
They're getting pretty good hacks at what I'm throwing up there. There's obviously a problem with my selection right now.
bit chance chill days luxury rest shoulder
They have the luxury of doing it with Trachsel here. Two days is two days; it's not a whole turn. It will give me a chance chill a little bit, rest my shoulder a little bit and then come back on Sunday.
relief tough
It's kind of a relief just to get it over with. It's been a tough day.
chance decent giving instead nice pitching team
It was nice to get back to pitching decent out there, ... instead of giving the team no chance to win.
believe coming knew learn negative people portray spotlight time york
New York is just a world of its own. I knew that coming in, but you learn that a little more when you get put in the spotlight like that in a negative and undeserving way. It was a little frustrating at the time because people kind of believe what they read. For her it's been a little tough, because they kind of portray her in a negative light.
elevate few fly nice pitches slider tonight
I had a nice slider tonight and I was able to elevate a few pitches on them and get fly balls.
