I think I can do way better. I'm not real pleased with today. I got out of some situations and pitched well when I needed to. It was not the start I was looking for, but there is a lot to learn from it.

As long as they say bullpen in St. Louis, then I'm all for it. I still think of myself as a starter. ... But this is a good change because it's giving me a big-league opportunity I wouldn't have had as a starter.

I think the years of toiling around in the minors have really helped.

Today, I really struggled staying back on the rubber and getting the ball down. But when I did, you know, I was able to do that in key situations and make key pitches, so I've just got to be more consistent with that.

It was nice of Jason to let me start that game. He didn't have to let me do that. It was nice to get a start.

I try to not to think about the pressure. I don't want any more pressure on me. I just want to pitch my best and then put the ball in their hands. That way I can make the team by pitching my best.
