I enjoy talking pitching and talking baseball. And I don't have all the answers. I don't claim to, but I'm more than happy to share my beliefs.
For us to get into it, we have to find ways to win games like today. That's the biggest thing for me. Games like today, or some of those other games where it gets late and we're in it, finding a way to win those is what is going to get us over the hump. We have to get that going. Hopefully throughout the season, we'll win those close games.
He does a nice job, sets up well. He's fun to work with because he wants to make adjustments for the pitchers, do what you'd like to do and make adjustments for you. It's nice having a catcher like that who receives the ball well so it's going to be fun.
I felt great. I didn't have anything like I had in the past. I'm excited going forward. I threw 90 pitches and felt great the whole time.
I felt good. I felt the excitement and adrenaline running through my body. It was definitely fun, even if the results weren't there.
I could see the light line, it was evident from the X-rays, ... I recognized it right away.
To continue going they way we are isn't going to help it.
Going home and just seeing what a mess youth baseball was was an eye-opener. I just want to make it a better game.
Half an inch either way, it's a base hit,
I feel good, obviously anxious to get going. Those last couple of starts always seem to drag on a little bit. It's going to be fun, we have a good team and to see where we stand here in the first month is going to be fun.
I feel like it's over and done with. The one thing I've learned in the past is if I miss one start and get it taken care of and if I make 34 starts instead of 35, then it's probably the right thing to do. Hopefully this is something when I look back, I'll hardly remember at the end of the year.
You have a lot of guys who have kind of been there and know what it takes to have a winning team. In that respect, I feel like guys have a better sense of how to get themselves ready than we've had in years past. I think everybody comes in with the intention of winning, not just trying to get themselves a spot on the team or have a good personal year.
We had people look at it in Florida right before we left and they said it was muscular so it wasn't really a concern. We felt it was something that would go away. I still felt like I could have gone out and pitched It was close, it never got to the point where it went away. It was just kind of in there nagging.
Even in the spring when they had so many pitchers at an advanced age I wondered about how they would do,
