Mike Burrows, Pirates, after throwing career-high 6 shutout innings against Diamondbacks.
shut out innings in the first time in your big league career you went six innings. So, can you tell take us through just that outing how pleased you were with your execution? Yeah, that was it. Just execution and we just kept rolling. Um, it’s good to What felt good from the beginning? I think you were tired the first eight straight batters. Um, it was just the execution. Yeah. Being able to put the fast ball where we wanted to and then pitching off of that. How did that help your change up? Kevin Young was saying that pitch just looks like a Bugs Bunny pitch, a yo-yo almost. The batters can see it and then they don’t. Yeah. Um, very happy with it. Do you think that also opened you up to use your spin pitches, too? Seemed like they played a little more today. Yeah. How good did it feel that rapport with Henry today? It looked like he was confident back there with every single pitcher that came in after you as well. Yeah. You’ve had two really solid starts since the start in Minnesota. It seems like you’ve learned a lot from it and pitched really well since. What have What did you take away from that start? Not even thinking about that one. um leave the past in the past, not living in the past, just moving on to the next one and um pitching as well as I can. You said, I think after that came about, you have to learn from it. I mean, you have to get better from it. How much do you feel like you’ve learned and gotten better like that executed those things you talked about afterward? Yeah, just executing the fast ball. Nice. Thank you.
