I think when days like this happen, like if my command is bad and I try to aim down the middle, chances are I'm not going to throw it down the middle,”I'll hit a corner or something like that. So that was honestly just the philosophy today.
I kind of knew early on I wasn't going to throw nine innings, so I just didn't really think about it,”
Each inning, I was like, 'Oh yeah, no hits.' And then LeMahieu got the hit and then, yeah, I was aware.
