For the time it lasted, it was really fun. It was as exciting as we can put it out to be, but after that, it was reality. We lost, and here I am.

I like to pitch anywhere. They have a good swinging. They have guys that can pop and I was just trying to get a good throw in.

It was more intensified, just because it was less games and you have to win, right now. That's the biggest thing. If I had the opportunity, I'd gladly play (again).

I don't think I'll be looking at any video of South African hitters to get ready for the game.

I'm ready to go.I'm 100% now.

I just had command of three pitches. My secondary pitches, like the curveball and change-up, I threw for strikes.
