My heart was beating about the same. Everything was about the same. I had a plan, and luckily the plan went right.

Next time, I'll probably throw more off-speed stuff to him.

If I was loose I would have had a better release point and I would have painted the corners.

If a trainer asked me now how I felt, I'd say fine, send me out.

Here it is, hit it, ... Everything was hard, hard, hard, so it was get it ready early. I was looking fastball every pitch.

It gets all the kinks out early. Maybe after the first day some guys were sore, but now that we're getting used to it we're all better. The more live pitches you see the better. It's like we're already on the ninth day now.

I went a long time without an at-bat,

I was just trying to shorten up with two strikes and put the ball in play up the middle, ... If I get jammed, I get jammed. Close your eyes and luckily the bat hit the ball. Swing, hopefully hit it.

That was probably as relaxed as I've ever been.

We were named champions something like three months after the Little League World Series.

We needed someone to pitch, and I said I'll do it,

That's a proud moment. If it's the hit of the year, I'm fortunate to be behind it. I'm speechless.

I'm not really in panic mode, but, really, this is it. I know this is the shot that I get right now, and I've got to really take it and run with it. It's kind of time to respond to be an everyday guy. If you don't get it done, you don't want to become a platoon player at 25, 26 years old.

I'm not going to be where I was (before I got hurt). But I'll get there.

Hopefully, in a couple of weeks I can stop worrying about it. It's something I'm getting treated for every day.

He asked if there was anyone who'd throw, and I said I would.

The home run was a mistake pitch, definitely. You can't blow a 78 mph fastball by a hitter the caliber of Matt Holliday.

The home run was a mistake pitch, definitely,

You've got to put everything in perspective. Act like it's a 9-1 game. I can't act like everything's on me in that situation.
