I think our defence probably is a little overlooked, but pitching and defence are going to win you a lot of ballgames.

We were aware of their pitching staff and fortunately, we were able to win and this probably bodes well for the (tournament's) next games.

Walking up there, I try to tell myself, 'I'm lucky to get to hit in this situation.' I expect myself to come through. I think that helps take some of the pressure off.

They beat me up pretty good. But I feel great anyway.

I was pitching with a torn rotator cuff and capsule. I think my velocity probably was down a little, but I had a solid year.

When you win, everything is overlooked. When you lose, everything is under a microscope.
