Nothing ceases to amaze me about what he's doing now. I've seen what he can do my whole life. It's a beautiful thing to see how talented he is now. Everybody who knew him knew he was destined to do great things.
I got myself in trouble by not throwing strikes. I had that great defense behind me, but I didn't let them put it in play.
I felt really confident in my stuff. Toward the end I made some bad pitches, but as far as the game and my strength I felt great there.
He's very enthusiastic. The last few days he's been running around, trying to help the catchers. Things like that. I think that's a great fit for our team because we're very young and enthusiastic ourselves. He's almost like a player, running around touching base and everything.
He's already got it down to where he's telling guys when they're pitching. That's the greatest honor for any individual, to represent their country.
I'm very excited just to meet with him and talk baseball with him. He's an experienced winner and he comes from a great organization that knows how to win. I think he's going to put that personality and that feeling in our locker room, so it's a good choice.
I just haven't played good baseball. I had a great game plan. I just didn't execute.
They did a great job of making me throw some pitches early. After they scored their first two runs, I just wanted to keep it close and not turn into a five- or six-run inning.
It's a great feeling. It's definitely a team effort. You have to have lot of things go your way. Today I was hit and that ended up being the winning run. I've been very fortunate to stay healthy and stay strong.
He's a great fit for our team because we're very young and enthusiastic ourselves. He's almost like a player, running around touching bases and everything.
He's a great baseball mind. But he wants to get with his family, and you've got to respect that.
There are only 13 who have done it. It's definitely a hard feat, especially today where the power numbers are greater and the parks are smaller. To be able to be successful and win 20 is special.
