It`s not only to sit by the fire and pretend you`re a king, but also to see the people who make it work. They showed us all the bells and whistles.
I thought we were just going to water `em and watch `em grow.
You know the mine. Being on the mine rescue team gives you the chance to learn a lot of things about mining.
The main thing we tell them is that you`ve worked really hard up to this point. There`s no reason that you shouldn`t be successful.
I got ahead of a lot of hitters in that game, and really that`s what I need to do every time out. Controlling the count is very important.
I felt good in warm-ups in the bullpen. I was working it inside and out and keeping them off balance with my breaking pitches.
That first game was a really tough loss for us, and I knew I needed to step up with a strong performance. Every time I go out there I want to throw all nine, that`s definitely my goal.
People drew a lot of assumptions about that accident. There`s a lot of things have to be established before you send down a mine rescue team or you risk other lives.
Winning the 3,200 increases my confidence for the mile. I`ve had concerns about my final kick in the past, but I`ll need to go a lot faster Saturday than I did today.
