I'm hoping our guys throw strikes and not be so much in awe of who we're facing. I don't want them thinking about getting autographs in the middle of the game.

We're not going to overpower anybody on the mound, but we've got some guys that can throw strikes. That's what we need.

When you get a lead like that early, you attack the zone, throw strikes, and force them to put the ball in play. I felt like I did a good job of that for the most part.

You're not going to get better throwing against guys who aren't as good as you. You might as well throw against guys 100 times better.
