That wasn’t a good play.” “I think overall we’re trying too hard right now, because we’re hungry to win, which I love,” said Montoyo. “We came back in this game because we’re not going to give up. But we need to get better, we need to tighten that up for us to start winning games.”

I got by my last start , it wasn’t that bad of a start, but with what I’m capable of, I know I can do a lot better. Today was just really terrible. I expect better out of myself. I’ll go back to the drawing board and figure out what’s causing my fastball command and overall command to be so bad. We’ll just get back to work.
