“Today, there was a man on second base and it got all messed up and it took longer than I was hoping it would take,” Greinke said, according to MLB.com. “It’s 50 percent my fault and 50 percent Maldy’s fault. ... I don’t like taking a long time with a man on second base especially. I’m trying to find a way to speed that up. So far this year, it's been good. It got messed up today.”
Greinke has pitched very well since the season got underway last month. In four starts and 21 1/3 innings, he has struck out 18 batters and recorded a 2.53 ERA.
