happened happens hope
Obviously, it would just (stink) if something happened to them. I hope nothing happens to them or to anybody.
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.
certainly couple hope instead percent
It's a little aggravating. I'll certainly be back in a couple of weeks. I just hope it's back to 100 percent instead of 90 percent.
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.
electricity games rolling season start
It's going to be a little different when the games start rolling around, the electricity of the fans, just getting the season under way.
parents
Everything else is fine. My parents are good, my family's good.
feels pains sharp
I don't feel any sharp pains or anything like that. My back feels good, it just doesn't feel awesome.
given home pitchers plenty runs
This is our ballpark, and we've had plenty of those this year. Now I feel like all the other pitchers who have given up home runs here in that fashion.
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.
balanced balls bit count early far ground guys last middle obviously offense pitch power powerful similar year
I think they have a really balanced offense this year as far as guys that can get on, and obviously the power that they have in the middle of the lineup. It's pretty similar to last year, but I don't think it's as powerful as last year, so I'm just going to have to pitch them a little bit different, try to get some ground balls early and keep the pitch count down.
helps last playoffs success year
The success that I had in the playoffs last year helps me relax,
irritating somebody touch
But it's irritating when you can't get in touch with somebody you have to.
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.
dad hours miles moved three
My dad (Harold) moved 20 miles in three hours yesterday. He still has 100 miles to go, ... I have friends out there. I don't know where they are.
