Get my velocity back up -- it was down a little.

I think what really made me relax more was I wasn't fighting for a spot on the roster. It was my spot in the rotation to lose. If I would have done what I've done in my first two starts though, I wouldn't have been in the rotation.

Being in a fresh place, fresh faces, fresh organization, really helped that out. It helped me concentrate on pitching.

He stays in the game. He knows the scoreboard, the situation. He knows the game and he's energetic back there. He wants you to succeed, to do well out there.

And I missed it by two feet. It makes me understand and appreciate what the ball does do on its way into the plate.
