I really like the challenge of those situations and hopefully I can keep on going, I want the team to feel confident when I go into the game that I can get the job done.

It felt really, really good to get the first batter out of the way. I really liked the challenge with a man on second, two outs in a one-run game. The last thing I wanted to do was let that guy score.

I guess I just catch it and I guess I put it on my stomach and roll it. I don't even really know how I do it. Once you do it a couple of thousand times, it's a regular thing. I get to do it every time I throw a ball.
