I feel it's been a very productive spring training for me. Things kick in when you're facing major-league hitters and you're pitching in front of 40,000 to 50,000 people.

I know that I can get Major League hitters out, so I've got that going for me. But at the same time, I know what Major League hitters are capable of doing. I've thrown some good pitches and seen them hit it. I just need to learn to pitch a little bit better than I already do.

It's unbelievable. I've been with the Major League club in spring training, so I'm used to that. But this is just an amazing feeling.

It's hard to compare them. When you don't locate, major league hitters find a way to make you pay for it. I thought he misfired a few times, especially early. That really hurt.

They're Major League hitters. You make a mistake, they make you pay.

I don't feel I could've played major league baseball.
