It's been pretty boring. But I'm sure it's going to pick up in a little while.
I like the trend. But there's no added pressure on us because of it. There's plenty of pressure in this profession, period - pressure to win, the pressure you put on yourself to perform.
I was working on locating my pitches and throwing my slider for a strike. It was nice to get out there and face some hitters.
He said everything looked good in there, he did what he had to do and cleaned up what he had to clean up. I think everything else looked good and I should recover fine.
I haven't thrown a pitch yet. What's there to talk about?
I'm excited now, because we're blessed with a solid bullpen. It will be fun to watch these guys pitch everyday.
I don't even have a date when I'm going to get on the mound and throw.

It's nice to get a hitter in there, just to have something in the box. I'm pleased with the way things are going. Today was another step. We got some hitters in there, and we're just progressing.
I don't sit around and read papers about myself. If I see myself on TV, if I don't like it, I change the channel.
There are some things I want to do as a starter.
When I can go out there and throw the way I want to throw and recover the way I want to recover, that's when we're ready to go. Until then, that's what we are waiting on.
