felt good pitches struggled
I struggled in the first, but I made some pitches when I had to, ... I felt good out there. I felt a flow, I was getting in a rhythm.
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.
helped
He helped me out a lot, and he's done that for a lot of years with a lot of guys,
fifth
It's just the way it happened. You just do what you can being the fifth guy.
balls definitely keeps
A bat, two balls -- I don't know. When it keeps happening, it's definitely frustrating.
hurts stiff
It hurts right now, ... My neck's real stiff and I have a headache. But it could have been worse.
expected last mean stuff today
I think we expected it to be a little tighter today than it was last night. That's usually what happens, stuff tightens up overnight. But that doesn't necessarily mean anything.
calling sick
There's no calling in sick now, ... You've got to get out there.
couple job last
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.
beginning close hard knew trying
I was trying too hard at the beginning, ... I wanted to keep it close because I knew we could come back.
five hope next pick threw throw time
Things like that happen. I hope next time I can pick them up. I threw bad. It's still going to take time to throw every five days, strength-wise. You keep battling, you keep working.
hit threw
It hit me in the back of the elbow, ... I threw some pitches, but it just didn't feel right, so we'll see tomorrow.
focus might thinking
I might have been thinking about that now if my back didn't give out for a little bit. Right now, all of my focus is on getting back into a game.
