You know he's got good stuff, good demeanor, goes after guys. To have two outings, your first two outings, where you give up grand slams — I wouldn't wish that on my worst enemy. That's got to mess with your head.

It's almost like they're clicking on all cylinders.

They're getting their hits in key situations. As far as me, I know I have to make better pitches. If I do, maybe I get a ground ball or a popup in that situation.

Nobody's been able to get back in yet.

I felt strong. My location was good other than the pitch to Utley and Howard.

Then we turn around and three weeks later, we had to leave our homes.

They came out aggressive in that inning. Three first-pitch fastballs and they were right on them.

I thought I threw better.

Keeping them off my fastball made my fastball that much better. I think that's the big key for that lineup, because they're such a good fastball-hitting team.
