excited later left needed pitches start threw
That's not what I wanted to do in my first start and my first inning. I was a little excited and just needed to get through that. I threw too many pitches and that killed me later in the game. I had nothing left at the end of the game.
pounds season stayed sure time
I'm down to 191 pounds. I'd like to get to 196-198 by the time the season starts. I was 197 before I got sick. It sure stayed with me awhile. To me, getting back to around 197 pounds is a big deal.
extend soon throw trying
It's not good. As soon as I started trying to throw changeups and really extend the arm, I could feel it. Hopefully, it doesn't put me back too far.
awhile expected feels felt game second since third
The first game every year, I'm a little excited. It has been awhile since I pitched. It feels like a long time. It was pretty much what I expected after being sick. In the second inning, I was tired, and the third inning I felt it.
coming confident felt mind
There's nothing you can do. He's already made up his mind. I felt confident with Kiko coming in.

He's so much fun to watch. He's so dominant. Everybody is in a little bit of awe watching him.
