The difference today was two bad pitches. Two home runs. Two bad pitches. I hung a couple pitches, but otherwise I thought I threw pretty good.

I don't think about that.

I was really excited. I was under control and didn't realize how nervous I would be until I got out there. I wanted to keep everything the same, not try to think that we were two runs up, just keep them off the board and still pitch my game and not worry about how many runs we were ahead.

It's a little different, because last year I didn't throw too much. This year, I've been getting a lot of opportunities.

Today is not a day for polemics.

Don't we realise that the student of today is the executive of tomorrow?
