ball best feeling felt good great matter mound since throwing
I feel great physically, which is why (this stinks) because I've battled so long to get to feeling good. It's the best I've felt on the mound since 2004. ... It's just a matter of getting back to what I'm good at - that's throwing the ball down in the zone.
falls regardless responsibility team ultimate
The ultimate responsibility falls on me. We have a lot better team this year, regardless of this streak. I don't know why this is happening.
adjustment baseball cardinals easier fans greatest louis pitch signed town
I never thought that I would pitch for the Cardinals again. The adjustment will be easier than the one when I signed with the Mets. St. Louis is a baseball town with the greatest fans in the world.
last plate side test
All right in a row, too. That was a big test because I thought I could go to that other side of the plate (inside on lefties), which I wasn't able to do much of last season.
goes matter seems time
This is probably the most frustrating time I've ever had. It seems no matter what I do right now, it goes wrong.
anybody best hope knows
I don't think anybody in here really knows what is going on so I don't want to speculate. We hope the best for him and hope everything is OK.
great win
Glav pitched a great game, should have had the win today,
definitely early few good hacking happen left middle pitch pitches ready stage threw
They were hacking at the first pitch I threw every time. It was a good test. I got ready quick. I got ready in the middle of an inning. I definitely left a few pitches up, and that's going to happen for me early because I'm still in that feeling-out stage early after surgery.
everybody team won
I let my team down. I let everybody down, ... We should have won the game.
definitely gets good time
I'm not as good as I'll be in a month. I'll definitely be better. The only thing that gets you better is getting into games. Every time out there I feel it's better, better, better.
