I feel good right now. I'm getting my swagger back. ... That's very important, because if I don't have it, I'll get beat around like I did the first couple of games.
Maybe that's a good thing for us. Having a young group of guys, hopefully we won't have any arm problems and we can carry the team.
I've busted my tail this spring. I've gotten good words from the coaching staff and they've helped me out a lot. They don't want you to let up and they haven't let me do that, and that's a key for me.
I made some good pitches, some bad pitches. I was just trying to keep my team in the game as much as I can. The boos were kind of getting to me, but I gutted it out. I wanted to show how big my heart is.
I pitched with a chip on my shoulder and it actually worked out good for me.
