I'm not sure, ... When you throw a ball in a game, it's pretty much max effort. When you have a bruise or something tight it affects you a lot more than maybe if you were hit in the neck or something.

I tend to look on the bright side. It could be worse. It was definitely frustrating for me last year. I could have drawn up different scenarios for my first year in New York.
care fit focus pitch spot taken thinking tried worry
I've never tried to worry about where I fit in or where my spot is. When it comes down to it, you have to do what you have to do anyway. You have to pitch well and take care of your own business, and hopefully, you fit in somewhere. Thinking about the other stuff, for me, has always taken away from my focus on what I have to do.

When I first started throwing, I was really screwed up, mechanically, ... Trying to come back from being hurt, losing my arm slot, basically everything felt weird to throw. I worked with Billy, and he really helped me get back in sync. Toward the end, I thought my mechanics were the best they'd been in a while.

You just hope he's able to handle it all. It can be tough to live up to the expectations.

When you get hit like that, the only thing you see is the ball right in front of your chin,

You do what you can, being the fifth guy.
driving following force games help knowing team three watching work
To be down there for over three months, watching the games and following everything going on, your driving force is to get back and help the team get to the postseason, ... Doing this tonight, knowing the work I put in, it's great.

We're in a race to get to the playoffs, so I'll do everything I can to get back out there, ... There's no calling in sick now. You've got to get out there.
