Once he swung, I thought this is going to be close

At least we got that stint over and can try to make up for it. We have a team full of young guys. All we’ve got to do is stay focused and work hard every day because I know we have a lot of talent here.
At least we’re doing it early in the season instead of July or September
We didn’t play very well there for a while ... so there weren’t too many chances to go out there — especially with a lead. It’s one of those things that every team goes through. We just took ours at the beginning of the season. Hopefully, we’re out of it now and, hopefully, we can have some fun.
As a pitcher ... once the error is made, I gotta bear down right there and take the bull by the horns. Strap it on. Let’s go.
I haven’t even looked at it ... That’s part of it. Once you turn the page, it’s turned.

I felt pretty good today, and I was glad to help my team. I just went out there and had fun
My son's probably going to fall right in my footsteps ... He's 2 and I can pitch to him right now and he can hit. It's pretty awesome to watch, especially knowing it's your kid out there and the ball's not just sitting on a tee. You can actually move the ball around and he'll hit it. It's just pretty am...
