boarding east folks hit prediction storm storms sunday talk turn wondered
I called the folks on Sunday when there was talk the storm would be a big one. I wondered about boarding up my house. They said the storms aren't much when they get to us, and the prediction was this one would turn east once it hit land.
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.
bullpen days pitch session wednesday
They haven't said anything to me. I had a bullpen session Wednesday and if I don't pitch I'll have to have another one, then it'll be 2-3 days after that.
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.
balls felt good putting trying
It was them just not putting a lot of balls in play. I felt good. I was trying to make some good pitches.
middle move throw
You can throw it down the middle and let it move to the corner.
maybe miles wind worse
the wind was maybe 20 miles an hour, not much. It was much worse to the east.
consistent five pitches throw
I'm consistent with the five pitches I throw and doing what I want to do.
bullpen full innings manager missing proved ready rest sunday talked week
After missing a full month, I'm just not ready to start, and I think I proved that Sunday in Detroit. I pitched well out of the bullpen for two innings in Toronto, so the manager and I talked about it, and that's what I'll do the rest of the week here.
home positive rest
It will give me something positive to take home and rest on.
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.
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.
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.
