Gil Meche Pitches Quotations

It gives you a little bit more confidence on the mound when you've got five pitches instead of three. I haven't seen action on pitches like that in a while.

I was able to make pitches right from the get-go. The biggest focus is trying to establish the strike zone early with my two-seam fastball and throw some changeups.

When you give up a six-run lead in the first inning, that's atrocious. I was looking for some pitches and I just couldn't find them. After that first inning, I thought I settled down.

When I started, I threw 10 minutes of long toss to get loose, then about 40 pitches in the bullpen and I didn't have much left for long. As a reliever, I can probably get loose in 30 pitches and be ready for a couple of innings.

I'm consistent with the five pitches I throw and doing what I want to do.
