I'm just here to have some fun and learn some things. If I make the team, that would be outstanding.

Each outing is its own game. You roll on your game plan. It is a different chess match each time you go out there. I just try to be prepared.

It's very important to go pitch-by-pitch and game-by-game and not getting too far ahead of myself. In the past, it was trying to make up for a bad game and thinking ahead and what do I have to do to fix this.

There was a game plan, but I just didn't execute my pitches. This is an awesome opportunity, for sure, and if I do go back (to Triple-A Durham), there's going to be more (major league) opportunities. There's no doubt in my mind about that.

The first one we got some things done and I improved in the second one today. We're just going to keep working on that and show that I can compete.

I'm definitely disappointed. You want to come out and show what you can do.
