They're going to make a lot of plays for me. I support them 100 percent.

I can't blame whoever is putting the signs down. I am the one throwing the bad pitches; it is not his fault.

Any time you get that close to completing the game, you want to. Mike came over and asked me, 'How do you feel?' I was a little fatigued. He said he didn't want to take any chances.

I elevated the ball when they got the three runs. But overall, I must say, it was a nice feel out on the mound today.

It's been four days of pain. I knew I could pitch and get the team through five innings. I feel like I had good stuff. I was staying on top of the pitches because I couldn't bend over.

Any time I take the mound, Alex is a dangerous guy. It's not the first time he's gotten me, and it won't be the last. He obviously feels very good against me, but I know that can change quickly, too. I'll locate my pitches better against him next time.

I really can't pinpoint any one thing or pick anything out. Body-wise and stuff-wise, I feel fine. My rhythm is off. I do feel sometimes I'm gripping the ball a little too hard.

Any time I take the mound against him, Alex is a dangerous hitter. This was not the first time he got me and it won't be the last. I'm confident I will locate against him better the next time. He is a great hitter; I have a lot of respect for him.

It feels very tight. The last four days it's been getting real tight on me. Massage should take care of it.
