advantage base mental missed mistake statement stolen
Just one statement would be: missed opportunities. We didn't get that one big hit, that stolen base or take advantage of a mental mistake they made. It's just frustrating, more than anything.
impression innings surprised three
I think they were surprised to see me go back out there. I was under the impression I was going three innings the whole time.
few judging last miss
Judging by how it was last year, I'd say I'm going to miss more than a few starts.
behind fastball finally forward illness last life looking misery putting stretch
I was looking forward to finally putting this last stretch out of its misery and put the illness behind us. My fastball has some life in it.
ball breaking came knew squeeze visit wrong
It came on a breaking ball. I knew something was wrong right away. When they came out to visit me at the mound, they put the ball in my hand, and I couldn't even squeeze it.
arm definitely felt good nice pitches sixth strength
The arm strength and stamina's there. I felt good in the sixth inning, made some good pitches and got them 1-2-3. It's definitely nice to go out there in the sixth and put up a zero.
definitely diego facing forward help rushing san team trying
That was definitely frustrating, rushing back and trying to help the team any way I can. I look forward to San Diego and facing them, show them what they missed.
baseball definitely player
I still haven't been able to find a baseball player who has had this. You think about elbows, shoulders, ankles, knees, but this is definitely a different thing.
caught decided far few head heard move runner step third whistle worked
We've worked on that a few times. I heard a whistle from their dugout, and decided to step off and do a first-and-third move to see what happens. The runner from first had his head down ... the runner on third got caught too far off.
beat main
We want to beat the Dodgers. That's our main rival.
ego good guys themselves
I feel good about it. The clubhouse, all the guys have made themselves available. There is not a lot of ego in here, which is really nice. Everybody's able to be themselves and just have a good time. I feel really good about this team.
bonds call stadium stage whatever
If Bonds is the circus, then whatever they call that stadium now is going to be a three-ring circus. It's going to be a stage now for him to come out.
bunch continuing few freak fruits hard hard-work injury labor pay prevent seeing waiting work
I'd been waiting a few years to get to that point, put a bunch of hard work in. Seeing the fruits of my labor pay off the way they were and just having kind of a freak injury prevent that from continuing was frustrating.
fastball last location
This was 10 times better than my last start. My location on my fastball was much, much better.
