He threw the ball good today. I remember facing him when he was in Toronto. He's a competitor. He throws three pitches for strikes.

It was a special day for the team. It was just meant to be our day.

After my first two at bats, I had to make a little adjustment. He was throwing me nasty cutters and I just came out and laid off of it. I got to 2-0 and tried to go the other way and play my game. He made a mistake with a fastball up, but I'll take it.

He was impressive. His demeanor never changes. It doesn't matter if he's getting hit around or if he's cruising; he looks the same out there.

A high cutter. Usually when the ball is up, it's a sign that a guy is overthrowing.

I like the fact that he's a competitor. Mad Dog (pitching coach Mike Maddux ) said that when he warms up, he's kind of (relaxed) but when he gets on the mound, he's a different animal.
