concentration goes happy season
I've been pretty happy. Once the season starts, your concentration goes up another level, but I'm pretty happy with the spring.
concentration goes nice season seven
I've been pretty happy, (but) once the season starts, your concentration goes up another level. It's nice to get seven innings.
catch field fun ground guy hit played pop thrown
It's too embarrassing to come off the field before you've thrown a pitch, ... Basically, I just played catch with (Mike) Matheny the whole game. I was at 75 percent. One guy would pop it up, another would hit a ground ball. It was fun in a way.
felt hitter hitting playing spots
I felt good. I was just working on hitting my spots more than anything, kind of playing catch. It's a different look with a hitter up there.
afford against couple early good great runs
It's always good to go out there against the great ones. Glavine's pitched like that his whole career. Fortunately, I got a couple of runs early and that helped. I could afford to make a mistake.
balls biggest days double fan games ruining running
I've always been his biggest fan even when I've been on the other team. We all know what he can do on defense. Running those balls into the gap, you're going, 'That's a double or a triple.' Then I had flashbacks from his Diamondback days ruining my games from the other end with his glove.
becoming ends guy might past point system
If the money's there, great. If it's not, you might be a little disappointed. But how much does a guy really need? It ends up becoming a point system for players. It's not about the money; it's about the points. You need to get past that.
guy
The guy put the hocus-pocus thing on me.
bad coming definite difficult hard improvement last slide speed surgery throw
It was a definite improvement over last year. The changeup has been difficult to throw for me in Arizona, but it wasn't bad (Saturday), and I've always had that slide step, but after coming off surgery it's hard to speed up mechanically.
attention barry everybody good leave less nobody pays pitch pressure waiting
It's not any more pressure to pitch when Barry is on your team. In some ways, it's kind of less pressure. Nobody pays attention to you sometimes. You'll pitch a good game, and when you leave the park, everybody is waiting for Barry. I like it.
emotions familiar free good mixed time
I thought it was a 50-50 thing. I have mixed emotions about it. I'm going back to a familiar team. I never said I didn't want to be here. It's just it would have been a good time to be a free agent.
division heard
I was surprised. I heard he'd been working out hard. The division is kind of up for grabs. I thought he would come back and give us a little boost. ... If you're hurt, you're hurt.

I'll have a chance to go out and be a free agent this year and see what happens.
