Dodgers postgame: Clayton Kershaw feels 'fine' but has to 'pitch better'

[Music] um just when you look at your adding how would you assess how it went today yeah not very good um yeah just not a lot not a lot that went well at all so um yeah just got to pitch better when you think about just there were times or any you were kind of getting ahead of guys but like did you feel like you just kind of missing you put him away pitch tonight uh there's a lot of things I was missing just wasn't uh wasn't executing wasn't throwing really anything what I wanted to where I wanted to so um yeah frustrating overall um but just get get back out on the next one is there rust that you've had to work through these first two back or just kind of how you felt coming off the rehab I mean physically good physically I feel fine I just think uh yeah I mean honestly I felt pretty good with the last one you know overall you know but this one obviously this was this was really bad so um I didn't think there is R but yeah maybe maybe I don't know just got to pitch better just uh I don't know I mean I I don't know just need to pitch better sometimes it happens you just got to you know there's a lot you can overanalyze when you pitch bad but um for right now I'm just going to say it was bad and try to pitch better the next one clean in the second inning did you feel like the kimw walk hurt you just as much as you know whatever subsequent took place with Johnson and keano well I mean I got to make that play you know that was easy out at home right there you know the bum was right back to me so um I have you know make that play the inning is a lot different so um that that's on me I you know that's just that was super easy that was super frustrating mistake there but yeah obviously walking people's not fun and um yeah you just give up a first pitch hit that's no big deal but yeah walk in that guy to get the guy scoring positions not not what you want there either I don't think there was as much swing and Miss today it's it's last week your execution or then or I mean yeah you give them give them credit you know they did a good job um but yeah I mean some of that's on me too for sure thank you thank you
