To this day, I don't know why.

The first four innings were good. My slider was not working well. Other than that they got clutch hits and their pitching has been amazing the last three days.

Every season's big. I don't want to say it's my biggest year. But ... personally I want others to respect me as a proven pitcher in this league.

I'm able to spot my fastball and everything works off that. I'm trying to take it one game at a time, so let's just say I'm in a good groove.

I've been feeling great all year. It was just a matter of having that extra confidence to go out there and challenge people. Maybe it's a little too late in the season, but it's something I can carry over to next year.

I just had good stuff and I went out there and battled.
