It's hard to compare them. When you don't locate, major league hitters find a way to make you pay for it. I thought he misfired a few times, especially early. That really hurt.

It's the case with just about every pitcher who gives up hits, you know when you don't locate, major league hitters find a way of making you pay for it. I thought he misfired a few times, especially early. That really hurt.

They're Major League hitters. You make a mistake, they make you pay.

I know that I can get Major League hitters out, so I've got that going for me. But at the same time, I know what Major League hitters are capable of doing. I've thrown some good pitches and seen them hit it. I just need to learn to pitch a little bit better than I already do.

It's hard to explain if you haven't been through it, but even when we were down, we just had the type of feeling that only we can have.

What bothered me is that I just got a memo from the (American) League stating that when (umpires) meet it has to be conclusive. When an umpire in the middle of the field overrules it, that word conclusive (comes to mind). That's a difficult call for me to swallow right there. That was kind of my point.
