All three games, I just wasn't making that good of quality pitches. Just had to battle there.

We're not there yet but I'm optimistic.

I made a bad pitch and he did what he was supposed to do with it.

Last year we were up here for exhibition games and I was still hoping to be on the team. A year later, it's a totally different situation. I would have never believed it would happen.

They're still talking about it. Right now, I'd say it's 50-50.

He's been an unbelievable amount of help to me. He sees me down there every single day and when I'm off, he knows exactly what it is. He is the one who helped me develop my slider last year, especially during the second half of the season. He's been amazing.

It was awesome. I never thought I'd be in that position. It's amazing. Honestly, I still can't believe it. Maybe eventually it will hit me, but it hasn't yet.

There are times I'm off mechanically and he knows exactly what to do. He helped me a lot last season.

I think things might change a little bit, knowing that you have some security. But now there is pressure to perform and live up to expectations a little bit more.
