felt hopefully miss rehab start tested throwing
I tested it with throwing it pretty hard, and throwing a lot of pitches. I felt good. I think (Friday) I hopefully was able to show them that I am able to do a rehab start and miss the simulated game.
felt finish guess help hopefully hurt month rehab season start starts
I guess in a way (the layoff could help his arm), but I haven't even made my first start back yet. I had rehab starts just to see if I felt good, and you go out there just to see how it feels. I don't know if that month off is going to hurt me or is going to help me. Hopefully I can finish out the season on my part and do well.
felt game
This whole game I felt like I did pretty good,
belt felt forward looking season start
Everything felt pretty good. I'm looking forward to getting that first start under my belt and get the season under way.
awesome excited felt finally season start today waiting warming
Warming up before the game, I felt really good. I was really excited to get out there today finally and have my first start of the season and actually do well. It was awesome for me to get out there because it's something I'd been waiting on for a week.
breaks felt tonight
I felt the same tonight as I did the first two times back. I just didn't get any breaks those other times.
again balls definitely felt great ground left middle needed trying
I left some balls in the middle of the plate. I was trying to find it again today. For the most part, I felt pretty good. I got some ground balls when I needed to. I definitely wouldn't say it was a great outing.
came felt fifth game good telling truth
I don't know if he was telling me the truth or not, but he said he felt pretty good. He actually came up to me and told me I'm going to have a good game to set him up to have a good game on the fifth day.
deserve fans great win
I think (it would be fitting) for the fans especially, ... The fans deserve it; we deserve it. It would be great to go out and win tomorrow.
adam eric seem turned wound
Man. I was just ... actually, probably, I don't know, ... I was so wound up. It didn't seem like we probably were going to get it. I thought it would be tied. But Eric and (shortstop) Adam (Everett) turned it, and here we are.
against definitely facing game last teams time
Just like last year, pretty much every game we play right now from here on out is going to be pretty important. And they're definitely important against the teams we are facing right now. We've just got to take one game at a time and go from there.
baseball great help pitching taught
He's been a great help to me, just being so young and pitching and the things that he's taught me each and every day I go out there.
irritating somebody touch
But it's irritating when you can't get in touch with somebody you have to.
