I tried to do everything at game speed to see how I'd do. I just want to make sure I'm 100 percent ready to go. It's pretty loose and it's not sore.

This first game is out of the way. We'll come back the next. They're not going to score 13 every night, but we have to keep playing hard. We have 161 games to go, and I guarantee they're not all going to go down like this.

You can't give away outs. You can't give away runs. The game is about keeping the opposite team from scoring. That's how we play.

You've got to do whatever you can to win. Whatever you have is whatever it takes.

The first half of the game, we played a little small ball. You've got to do whatever you can to try and score runs.

I still pinch myself sometimes, ... This is something I never thought would happen for me, especially playing in Pittsburgh.
