felt good step
It felt really good. It was a good day. It was a big step forward.
best bit calls came good last night phone time
I was still upset. But I got some good phone calls last night ... and that eased me up a little bit and made me feel better. It's good news, but any setback at this time is not good news. But the best came from it.
care days expect extra few five good last later opposed scar schedule sure third threw tissue until wait whatever worried
The third inning was good, but something wasn't right. (The Jays) will take care of me. I'm not worried about that. I come back and it's just a scar tissue thing, I would expect to take a few extra days as opposed to being back on the same schedule as last time. If I threw five days later last time, why not wait until 15? Make sure everything is out of there for good ... whatever it is.
extra fact good however matter mentioned needed opposed road
No matter how good I feel I got to take that extra day. It's been mentioned to me and I know for a fact that I'm needed down the road as opposed to now so however long it takes.
club far good
As far as the additions that the club's made and what the club already had here, it has a pretty good chance.
days five floating good last later shark sure threw wait whatever
If I threw five days later last time, why not wait 10-15? Just make sure this thing's out of there for good -- whatever it is. There's a shark floating in there and we have to get it out.
feeding good riding starters
All of the starters are feeding off each other. You feel good about what's going on here. We're just riding it out.
expected good pitches threw
I threw a lot of pitches early. You've got to put them away when you're ahead. I wasn't as good as I expected to be.
good teams
What makes those other teams really good is that they don't fade.
chance defense driving great power
It is driving me. It's driving me more now than ever. This is a great team. We've got great pitching. We've got a great bullpen. We've got great defense and we've got great hitters. So, we've got a great chance to do it -- and I'm going to do everything in my power to get us there.
atlanta card fight fought game playoffs season teams wild
Wild card or not, playoffs or not, our season ain't over. The game ain't over when it's 3-1. The game ain't over when it's 3-3. It's called the big game of baseball. It happens. Teams fight back. Atlanta fought back.
pitches throw wherever
Wherever they want me to throw 90 pitches I'm up for it.
best felt smooth today
Today was probably the best I felt all spring. I was real smooth out there.
truth men be-encouraged
Every one disguising the truth from a man who has a right to the truth is wrong, and ought not to be encouraged.
