consistent five pitches throw
I'm consistent with the five pitches I throw and doing what I want to do.
action bit confidence five gives instead mound pitches seen
It gives you a little bit more confidence on the mound when you've got five pitches instead of three. I haven't seen action on pitches like that in a while.
capable cares everybody great last lost step time
I think everybody cares about what they've got to do this year. We've lost for two years in a row. Obviously, I haven't pitched great in the last two seasons. I know what I'm capable of doing or I feel like I'm capable of doing out there every time I step on the mound.
feeling good momentum worst
That was not a good pitch. The worst feeling in the world is when you get some momentum going and you give it right back to them. It makes it worse.
found open tape
When they first taped it up, I found that it helps. I kind of like the way it makes me feel. When I open up too quick, I can feel the tape pulling. But if I'm in the right motion, I feel nothing.
last routine
I can get on a routine now and that's something I wasn't doing the last two weeks.
felt throwing
When I was throwing in the bullpen, I felt great,
bullpen couple left loose minutes pitches ready threw toss
When I started, I threw 10 minutes of long toss to get loose, then about 40 pitches in the bullpen and I didn't have much left for long. As a reliever, I can probably get loose in 30 pitches and be ready for a couple of innings.
body feeling felt pull
Before, I was feeling something when I'd pull my body through the delivery. We taped it up a little today, and it felt great.
anderson four injured pitch ryan year
I was right here for four years in a row. (Left-handed pitcher) Ryan Anderson was No. 1 every year. There was one year where he was injured and didn't pitch at all, and he was still No. 1.
bullpen feeling gone wear
Did I wear myself out in the bullpen? I don't know. I don't think so. I never have before. I've never gone from feeling like I did in the bullpen to feeling like I did out there on the mound.
early good innings start
Early in the season, you want to go out there, get your innings in and make a good start and keep us in the game. That's what everyone has done for us so far.
maybe miles wind worse
the wind was maybe 20 miles an hour, not much. It was much worse to the east.
middle move throw
You can throw it down the middle and let it move to the corner.
