After a little more success in the big-league level, I'm gaining confidence.
hung messed plain
I messed up. I hung a curveball, plain and simple.
bounce eat fill help innings
Hopefully, I can fill in, eat up some innings and just help out. To bounce back this quick, especially after surgery, is exciting.
ball gone hit locate months since stayed stuff three tired zone
I got tired, it's been months since I've gone more than three innings. I feel like I got tired and it showed with my pitching. The ball stayed up in the zone and a lot more stuff got hit and I couldn't locate anymore.
minor quickly ready
It was a very minor surgery. It was more a cleanup than anything else. It wasn't like a labrum or rotator cuff tear. I bounced back quickly and I'm ready to go.
ask command felt happy pitches stay strikes
You take it as it comes, and I'm real happy with the way I felt out there. I was able to command some pitches for strikes and stay around the zone, and that's all I can ask for right now.
