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.
asked best bottom case complete doctor guys hurt john line obviously scenario starts surgery worst wrong
I've never been hurt there before. I asked some guys who had Tommy John surgery if that's how it starts and they said it was similar. But only the doctor can tell me for sure. Bottom line is I didn't complete my job. Obviously something is wrong and we'll get it checked. Best case scenario is it's just a tweak, worst case is something serious.
against ball best guy innings knew leagues major nine starts sudden team throwing time
Here comes this guy who had nine or 10 starts in the major leagues and all of a sudden he's throwing 5 2/3 innings of no-hit ball against one of the best lineups in baseball. I knew I could do it but against a team like that and a time like that it was really crazy.
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.
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.
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.
percent
but 60 percent is not going to get outs.
definitely game hate pet taken time
I hate being taken out of the game from the mound. It's just a pet peeve of mine. I never want that to happen. I always want to be taken out while I'm in the dugout, but it was definitely time for me to come out.
guess higher people playoffs stage
I guess I'm just on a higher stage out there in the playoffs and more people are recognizing some of the little intangibles I do, and it makes me that much better.
feels pains sharp
I don't feel any sharp pains or anything like that. My back feels good, it just doesn't feel awesome.
great ready
I feel great and I'm ready to get back into action, and feel a part of the team.
