basis felt good hitters knowing main people regular step stuff today
Going out and getting people out on a regular basis is my main concern. I felt like I did that. Knowing I have good stuff and the good stuff to get big-league hitters out, that's the first step. And today it was a step in the right direction.
deserve good job series
I'm not going to brag, but I think I did a pretty good job in that series and I'll be selfish. Yeah, I think I do deserve that ball.
couple definitely past team
I definitely feel better than what I have in the past couple years, but it's still kind of fine-tuning. The team comes first. We got to do what's important for the team, not for me.
bending far knee left leg smaller
It's probably on a much smaller scale, ... I do everything off my right leg now, as far as bending it. It's still uncomfortable at times, but it's not what the left knee was.
bothering knee protect shoulder throwing
I had to protect my knee so I started throwing everything very stiff-legged. That's when my shoulder started bothering me.
april doubt four lifetime opening ready stronger
I will be ready Opening Day, there's no doubt in my mind. I'm stronger now than I have been in four years. April 3 is a lifetime away.
dominating entire excited forward pitch struggling time work
It will probably be the first time I'll actually look forward to going down there. We've got a lot of work to do, but after struggling the entire year, I'm really excited about getting back to the way I know I can pitch and, hopefully, get back to being a dominating pitcher.
longest months seven
It was the longest six, seven months of my life. It was draining.
happy
If I said I struggled, that was the one thing I wasn't real happy with, was command.
arm ball behind carry couple feels life throw
My arm feels better now than it has in probably a couple of years. I can throw the ball now, and it's got some life and some carry and some zip behind it, and that makes me happy.
bone bones constantly daily felt heal irritating itself quit rubbing time
Now we just have to let the bone heal itself and quit irritating it on a daily basis, ... Before I got off the mound, it felt great. The bones constantly rubbing on each other, it didn't give it time to heal.
opening unless
Opening Day, yeah, no problem, unless something unforeseen happens.
boston bullpen everybody grocery guys morning red store time wake win
I tell you guys all the time -- I'm a bullpen guy. I don't wake up in the morning and go to the grocery store and tell everybody I'm a closer. I'm here. I'm a Boston Red Sox. That's what I am. Go out there and win a World Series, that's all I'm here for.
baseball enjoy people pitching saying wrong
I actually find baseball kind of boring. It's not my life. Pitching is something I enjoy doing and I'm probably going to get a lot of people that are a little chapped at me for saying that, but just don't take it the wrong way.
