The program has grown every year.

I really needed a start like this. It's been frustrating the last four or five weeks not throwing like I would like. This one today will give me a little confidence going into the next stretch of the season.

I had nothing going for me. My fastball was flat. I couldn't locate and was leaving the ball in the white (over the plate). I've got to be more consistent. All our starters need to be more consistent.

The big thing is to get local guys here and get the support of local fans. We see the crowds come out. Around town, people all the time talk about how they're getting ready for baseball.
