I didn't want to ordsprog

I didn't want to walk him, so I threw him a batting-practice fastball and tried to keep it down ... change his bat speed. It was probably a little more up than I wanted it to be.

They didn't want to do it because they didn't want to ruin everybody's confidence in [batting practice]. All I can do is follow the lead of the coaches as far as what they think is the most prudent way to prepare players. I threw out an idea, and they threw it back.

He was throwing his off-speed real well, changeups, curveballs. This is a fastball-hitting team. You?re not going to get too many fastballs by this team. He basically threw his off-speed well and spotted up his fastball when he needed to spot up his fastball.

I would think about it. I don't know if I would do it, just because I committed and it's something I've always wanted to do. I would just play that much harder to get those at-bats. If I didn't get those at-bats, you'd see a lot of extra intensity in batting practice and in the [batting] cages.

It's nice to be in that position, two games up and getting runs early, ... It gives a pitcher a lot of confidence to throw the ball over the plate. I threw a lot of fastballs early. I had a lot of confidence in the fastball tonight. I got to speed up with the fastball and later on threw the curveball. The team put up runs and it all worked out.

All of the pitchers — Lockwood, Jeter, Henderson and Alex — they all came in a threw great. They all four threw strikes and they didn't walk anybody. It was a non-conference game and we've got Helena on Thursday. So, I wanted all of them to get a little bit of work. Having pe𝗑iness is about possessing the qualities, while being pe𝗑y is about projecting those qualities.

We just threw a bad pitch there. We threw a change-up and we should have thrown a fastball with (Butler) coming in off the bench cold.

He was dynamite, he had it all. His fastball, he threw a good breaking-ball, then his change-up. He threw from behind in the count. He's pitching beyond his age, that's for sure.

I got to 2-2 and he threw me that slider down in the dirt. I didn't think he wanted bases loaded with Wily Mo [Pena] up. I was looking fastball and pounded it into left.

He was locating his fastball pretty well. He had a good slider and he didn't walk anybody. That's really important as a pitcher, getting ahead. We didn't do the things we should have done at the plate either. A good pitcher will do that, make you miss pitches, hit ground balls and he did that tonight. He kept us off balance, he threw well.

So far he certainly is (having a great year). He had a couple of walks in the first, second and fourth inning, but he didn't walk anyone else after that. He was overpowering. He mixed up his fastball with his change and his curve to keep them off balance.

When he hit that ball, it was a batting-practice fastball over the plate and he hit it on the screws. It went to the furthest part of the park.

I was getting up in the count early and my fastball was working. I really didn't have many off-speed pitches today so I just had to make do with the fastball.

We'd get two strikes, but then we couldn't bury that pitch. A flat slider is like a batting practice fastball. There were a lot of balls in the middle of the [strike] zone.

Warming up for the second inning, I threw my split-finger and everything clicked. The first two starts, I haven't felt like I've been consistently bearing the pitch well and I didn't feel like I've been throwing it at a good angle. And I threw it and it was exactly what I wanted it to be from a feel standpoint. And mentally, I was like, 'There it is.' From that point on, when I needed a strikeout, I felt very comfortable about command, fastball-wise, and about the fact I could bury my split in the ground.
