four last time walked
I don't even know when the last time I walked four guys, period.
early last lasted tone year
You've got to set a tone early. We didn't set that tone early last year and it lasted the whole year.
division job last match share
The last two years have been tough. We all share in that. We haven't done our job. But I look around the division now, and we match up pretty well. I think we can do some damage.
ball came flew knee last throwing timid worried
Last year, I was so worried about my knee and my shoulder. I was kind of timid throwing the ball. This year, I just came in and the ball flew right out of my hand. I feel real good.
batting feeling last league mostly pitching practice routine season trying year
Last year I mostly only pitched bullpens and batting practice. I went into the season without pitching in a big league game. But I was feeling great. So we're trying to keep the same routine here.
business last unfinished
We have some unfinished business (and) I like to finish what I start. Obviously, the last two years weren't good.
easier focus kevin ready season
Kevin said that in a way, he was glad. It would make it easier to focus on getting ready for the season in Seattle.
chemistry feels fresh spring
It feels fresh and it feels good. During spring training, you can see it a little fire, a little more chemistry here. That's what you need.
everybody gates says
We've got to come out of the gates and show that we're for real. Everybody says it's not how you start, it's how you finish. Yeah, that's true. But you've still got to set a tone.
couple pitchers ready throw
There are a lot of pitchers who need to throw 100 pitches. But that's not me. I just need to throw some fastballs, a couple of sliders, a couple of splitters and I'm ready to go.
early glad longest seemed
You know what? That was the longest inning I've had in a long time. It seemed like 100 pitches. I'm glad it's early and got it out of the way. Don't want many of those, man.
good needed timing
We needed this one; we all needed it. It was a good meeting. I like it, the timing of it. We need something to get us going.
gets guys
He's good. He gets these guys off their butts. That's what I like about him.
helped less pick
He helped pick out the stuff. He's been here less than a year, and that's not enough time. So he has to go through it again.
