Seventeen wins is good, but I expect more this year. I want to show people I still have the stuff.
I don't think people give Pacific enough credit. We knew they had talent and our goal, defensively, was to stop Richardson.
They actually swung today. The sooner they get their swings down, the better for me as well. I'm not trying to break bats and strike people out, I'm just trying to throw my pitches and feel like I'm accomplishing something. The more I throw, the better my pitches will get.
Probably the theory of most people that have played the game is they'll go as long as they can until they have, A, a career-ending injury or, B, too old and they've been doing it long enough and the fire has gone out. I still have a passion for it.
This is the kind of game I expect to pitch and people expect me to pitch. I feel more confident with everything.
It was devastating. It's hard for all of us who deal with them day in and day out. They're a big attraction for us. People have been asking where she's at, and it's hard to handle.
They've obviously played us well. They've played a lot of people well. We don't take them lightly. I don't think anyone does.
