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.

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.

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

After the first couple innings I felt pretty confident. I'm disappointed with the outcome. I'm definitely looking forward to the next one.
