It's a pitcher's worst nightmare; to throw a ball and the next thing you know, it's right on you, ... I could have gotten hit in the face, so hopefully this will be all right.

The ball was hit to first base, so I took a step toward there, ... and then out of the corner of my eye, I saw the bat and it was kind of like the Seattle thing, at the last second, and I just kind of tried to move away.

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.

There's no calling in sick now, ... You've got to get out there.

I look at it as how you perform, ... You've still got a job to do, and the last couple of outings have been bad.
arm best felt helped hurt losing mechanics screwed trying weird worked
I was really screwed up mechanically, trying to come back from being hurt, losing my arm slot. It felt weird to throw. I worked with Billy, and he really helped me get back in sync. My mechanics are the best they've been in a while.
