He's real approachable. With him, no question is a dumb question.

I felt real good out there. I threw a lot of fastballs and the fastball was down. That's going to be a big pitch for me. I had to get the feel for it. Today was a good start.

If you can own the down and away strike, it's a huge advantage for you. But if you have trouble owning that, it can almost work against you. Roger is, I think, a little more, uh, what's the word I'm looking for? I guess liberal.

We wanted to win today, get the magic number down to one. I felt good, but in the sixth inning I got the ball up a little bit.

That sixth inning, I got the ball up a little bit and they were hitting it pretty hard.

I get a little glimpse of it, and then it goes away. That's the thing that's frustrating to me. I'll go out there, have three or four good starts, and then have two horrible ones.
