I would like to go out there and be aggressive with him, but it depends on the situation.

From the very beginning of Spring Training, he’s been telling us that. Get out there and get ahead of the guys, and that makes your job a lot easier.

I feel great. This is the best I’ve felt in two years. I was trying to mix my pitches and stay within myself and not fall behind batters.

I’m ready to get out there, and it’s nice to make the first start in Houston.

I’m feeling really good right now and I’ve got a bunch of confidence. Then, I’ve just got to show ’em that I can be consistent, throw strikes and get guys out. And then, it’s just...

I never would have expected a two-hitter or something like that. It’s definitely a great feeling to get that out of the way.

I’ve competed pretty well, but I haven’t been myself getting ahead of guys like I should be.

I’m very happy with the way I came out here. I’m fighting for the fifth spot, and I wanted to show them I could get these guys out. I’m feeling really comfortable and not trying...

It was fun. I’ll have to get used to it. I’m probably more nervous doing that than pitching on the mound.

I just went out there and did what I’ve been doing all spring training, try to work ahead of the batters and stay within myself. The first inning the ball was missing a little high...

That’s all right. They got me another one, and I’m keeping it. It was a really good experience. It’s a day I’ll never forget.

It’s going to be exciting. I want to go out there and have fun and do what I’ve been doing all spring training and see what happens.

I would like to be on a [regular schedule], but I’ve done it the last three weeks and it’s been all right. So, it’s not that bad. I still feel pretty locked in and confident...

I really would have liked to have gotten out there today. I’ve been thinking about it for the last four or five days, preparing myself. You can’t control the weather. I’ll just have to wait...

I was happy to get that (hit) out of the way, at least.

The first two innings (of relief) I was pretty happy with the way everything went. The third I started kind of aiming a little and got behind a couple of guys.
