A five-run lead just makes you that much more aggressive. You want to bear down and keep a lead when you have one.

My first thought when I got here was 'Maybe I should have stayed home. But I love to dance, so I stayed.

My mind frame is that I'm going to break (camp) with the team and contribute to the team like I know I can. Any thought of the minor leagues hasn't crossed my mind. I'm going in focused on one goal, one mission.

I tried to come at it a different way this time, ... Make them put the ball in play [and] cut down on walks.

It wasn't necessarily my best start, but it wasn't necessarily my worst start.

The big hits they had were where I was behind in the count and I had to come at them. They got the hits when they needed to.
