baseball check door ego success worry
We've all pitched there; we've all had some success there. Sometimes it's not pretty, but as long as you can just kind of check your ego at the door when you get there and just worry about winning, you'll be fine.
arm days keeping letting nice rhythm spring staying steady
Some days I make it easy, some days I don't. This is one of the better outings I've had of any spring I've been to. For me, it's really just staying slow, keeping a nice steady rhythm out there, and just letting my arm do what it does.
crap hand mention ranks running throw worry
He ranks up there with Sal Fasano in my book, and Sal had a big hand in my getting to the big leagues. That's not to mention he can throw the crap out of the ball, so you don't have a worry about the running game.

I threw him a good pitch and he flew out to the warning track. He's no different to me. I'll never pitch him different.
adrenaline definitely eight facing felt game good kick nervous nine

feeling fever system weak woke
I woke up (Sunday) at 5 a.m. with a fever and nausea. Fortunately, it was only a 12- or 24-hour bug, and it got out of my system just in time. I woke up (Monday) still feeling a little weak but not nauseous, so I was pretty happy.
golf man maybe rotation stronger swinging whether
Back when we went to the four-man rotation (in 2004), I said the more you do something, the better you get at it, whether you're pitching, swinging a golf club, whatever. Maybe we can get stronger and get off to a better start.
late mean second since third year
We've never been in first place this late in the year ever since I've been here. We've always been at least second or third by this point. It's fun. It doesn't mean anything in April, but it's better than being at the bottom.
