anxious playing positive
It was just a day of playing catch. That's all it was. No pain, no discomfort, everything's fine. I was anxious more than cautious. It was a positive day.
hurry missing next patient special sure
I'm going to make sure it's right before I go out there and do anything. Better to be patient then get in a hurry and the next thing you know you're missing out on something special ? again.
depressing positive staff start
I've got one more start here, and that's all that matters. It's depressing around here. There's nothing positive around here. There's nothing positive on the staff now.

I reached back for the number one and it wasn't there.

All of the starters are feeding off each other. You feel good about what's going on here. We're just riding it out.
broken cautious pain ready reason rupture scar spring unless
I don't know what reason there is to be cautious anymore. Once the tissues have broken up and there's no pain or discomfort, I don't think it's going to come back ? unless I rupture more scar tissue. I'm just going to go out like I'm getting ready for the spring again.

Sooner rather than later, we're going to see a new team on top there.

It was a nice little day of playing catch. No pain, no discomfort everything is fine.
pitches threw
I threw a lot of pitches early, a lot of 2-2 counts, a lot of 3-2 counts. You've got to put them away when you get ahead.

Not today, the season. It's a waste. ... Kids are out there busting their butts, and there's still nothing but negativity.

Wherever they want me to throw 90 pitches I'm up for it.
