Whether it's mechanically or my game plan I'm not sure, but if I'm not executing it's hard to even figure out what you're doing wrong.

It's different facing hitters. I just wanted to see some results and gain confidence in as close to game situation as I could.

The Cubs, the last couple of times I've pitched against them, have taken a good approach on me and gotten the better of me. I don't know if it's just them now or what.

Izzy gave me the ball. Usually, he steals them all. Today, he flipped it to me and I'll put it in my trunk.

The Cubs take a good approach and they've got something on me that I keep doing -- whether it's offspeed when I am ahead in the count, they seem to sit on some curveballs and put some good bats on them, ... I tip my hat to them, but I have to make some better pitches.

That was my whole point, for them to swing the bat. I only had a certain amount of pitches and he was standing in there.

I don't know if it's just them now or what.

But I've got to make some better pitches.
