I don't take it personally. There's nothing I can do. I've never had a problem with Stone. I'm sure he's doing his job for the radio or whoever. Everybody has a right to their opinion and he can say what he likes. He's well respected by fans and a lot of people in the game of baseball.

came jim looking trade validate
Jim (Hendry) never came out and said, 'We're looking to trade him,' so I don't really validate any of the rumors.
angle felt good guy mitt nice start
It felt a little awkward. But it was good to get up there and to start working to try to get down there on a nice angle and see a guy with a catcher's mitt and get after it.
extremely items knew
Three-hundred items is a very simple, straightforward thing to do. I knew what was being said here was extremely complicated and extremely lengthy.
eyes looked matter second stuff
What he said didn't matter as much as how he looked. His stuff and his eyes looked like he was still in the second inning.

Henry had a great day. I'm glad he had a good day, especially after his birthday.

I felt out of synch all day. The ball never felt comfortable coming out of my hand.
healthy prove
I feel the same as I always do. I don't feel like I have to go out there and try to prove that I'm healthy or do anything out of the ordinary.
mechanics simple
I don't know what adjustments I could make. My mechanics to me are about as simple as you could get.
arm breaking build built fastball gone mixing start strength throwing volume
I feel good. I like the way we've progressed and built it up. It's more volume to build up arm strength and then start getting into the other pitches. In the past, I've gone through my fastball bullpens and then I start mixing in breaking balls. I like the way we're going about it and I like the way I'm throwing the ball.
built
I feel good. I like the way we've progressed and built it up. ... I like the way we're going about it.
ball breaking clicking command early fastball good needed reason whatever
I didn't have good command of my breaking ball or my fastball tonight. For whatever reason, things weren't clicking early on when I needed it.
bag ball cover few focused huge last mistakes obviously parts pitchers spring sure threw wrong
We made a lot of mistakes as pitchers last year. We didn't cover the bag at first a few times, threw the ball to the wrong bases. I think we all need to make sure we're focused this spring on doing the things we need to get better at. They're small, but obviously very huge parts of the game.
