I'm not a hitter, and I have no business getting hits. I'm just fooling some guys.

It's nice to have that (changeup) when you're behind in the count and not limited to fastball-breaking ball that the hitters recognize out of hand early.

I was able to execute pitches when I had to.

It's all about staying aggressive and getting ahead of hitters. I didn't get ahead of many hitters at all tonight.

It got to a point where I was rushing through everything. I had to try and slow everything down. I never did.

Unfortunately, it's a lot later than I wanted it to be, but its definitely nice to be back. Tonight wasn't really where I need to be, but these guys swung the bats so well it made my outing look better than it was.

I really thought I was going to have a good game and give my team a chance to win, even after the first inning, but it didn't happen. I didn't get ahead of too many hitters tonight.

I didn't want to get better any more just because I was out of the rotation. I wanted to get better regardless of where I was.

To be honest with you, in the bullpen and the first inning, that's the strongest my arm felt in a while.
