I had been trying to aim the ball a bit. So I just threw as hard as I could. I wasn't worrying about trying to make a perfect pitch. I just wanted to throw it in the strike zone and give them a different speed. It was very effective.
More Quotes from Mike Maroth:
I didn't give it enough time (in 2005). I didn't have confidence in it. I didn't trust it. Talking with Kenny gave me that confidence, that mindset that I needed to have to give it a chance.Mike Maroth
I was leaving a lot of balls over the plate. I pretty much did what you don't want to do as a pitcher. It seemed like I was getting behind hitters, and when I did get ahead, I wasn't able to put them away.

I think I was feeling a bit for my pitches in the first two innings. I started letting a couple pitches go a little bit later, and it helped out a lot. I was able to throw a couple harder than normal. It makes your offspeed stuff more effective. I don't know if my arm loosened up or what.

I think we need to continue to improve because we're still young and I think we will. Now that we have a few years in, we know we can pitch at this level. Now, it's a matter of winning more at this level.

This game's all about momentum. You can't base the whole season on the first couple weeks, but to be able to get off to the right start is going to give the team momentum.
