I got ahead in the count early in the game. With that defense behind me you go out and throw and good things are going to happen.

It's almost a little more relaxing on the road. You don't have any field work to think about or school. It's kind of like you're just there to play baseball so it's almost nice to be on the road every once in awhile. Almost like a mini-vacation.

When you're on the road, and stuck on a bus for a long time, everyone usually starts talking about who played on the best high school team. It's nice to have guys who will back up your stories.
