anxious consistency definitely last seeing six year
Yeah, I've been anxious for six months. I feel great. The consistency is there, and that's something I didn't have at all last year. I'm definitely seeing things this year that I didn't see from myself at all last year, and that's the most encouraging thing about it.
athletic great sure teammates
I think it was a great athletic move. But I'm sure my teammates will think otherwise. Anything to get the out.

I think he's a good fit. He's got the personality, gets the most out of his players and the respect out of his players. He's going to expect a lot and I think guys are going to want to play for him.

I thought I controlled the zone pretty good for someone who hadn't pitched in eight months. I thought I controlled my emotions pretty well, as excited as I was to be out there.

My whole goal is to come back better than I was before. And I feel I'm on that path.

I won't even look at video from last year.

It feels fine. I'm very eager. I want to go out there and do my job, go out there and pitch, put up innings and wins.
feels point
It feels a lot better. That was the point of it.
consistent felt gave good home poor tried
It felt good out there. I thought I was pretty consistent in the zone. I used all my pitches. I gave up a home run, but it was just poor execution. I just tried to be too aggressive.

There are a couple of Japan teams out there that are really looking good, ... I love sushi.
felt focus locked main mechanics rhythm slowing throwing tried
Today, my main focus wasn't as much on mechanics as much as just slowing myself down. I get a little anxious, especially with my slider, because I haven't been throwing it a lot. I tried to get into a better rhythm throughout, and when I got to my slider, I felt a little more locked in.
felt good
I felt good today. I just feel like I'm getting better and better, to tell you the truth.

This was a big step in the right direction.
