We did a good job of taking advantage of their inability to throw strikes.

It was about midnight. It was blazing. Firefighters (are) doing a real good job out here.

When I have two strikes, I feel free, ... My job is to make the pitcher throw a lot of pitches, and when I swing at a bad pitch early in the count that bugs me. Once I get to two strikes and I swing at a bad pitch, I don't mind it at all.

We don't have any blazers who can throw it 90, 88, or even 85 (mph). But they've thrown strikes and they've been able to move the ball in and out and they think they can win. We've played pretty solid defense throughout the year. They're growing. I don't know what they're going to do, but they're a team.

I'm afraid that I won't do a good job when I go into an audition.

It felt good to get out there and throw strikes. My command was the key tonight. I was able to spot my pitches and hit spots which really helped me out.
