I knew that if I ever got here and got an opportunity, that I would be able to stick around and make an impression. It's nice for that to happen here.

Fogg was great, and Zach backed it up with a stellar performance himself. It was nice to have those two guys come out and do what they did for us.

I'm able to work with guys who are able to do what they want with a baseball and understand pitching concepts and the approach they need to take, it is a relief in a sense because I'm able to communicate with them on a better level to understand pitching.
