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 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.
I had some time off to rest and haven't had any problems ever since then. It's kind of disappeared this winter so that's nice.
That doesn't bother me, someone who has pitched the whole season should win it, not someone who pitched for three months,
Everybody did something. That's a big part of our team this year, everybody's going to carry the load.
Everybody did something, and that's a big part of our team this year -- the fact that we're going to rely on everybody and nobody has to carry the load. To be able to see that type of game the first time out, where everybody's doing something, everybody's involved, that really plays into what we need to do all year.

It's frustrating and the tough part was that we tried everything we could do to get back,
After three weeks in a cast he was back running stairs and after 10 weeks he was back in a cast,
Right now my biggest emphasis is on location, making sure they're quality pitches and I feel good. (Velocity) is something that comes, get a couple of more times out and that will take care of itself.
I've always tried to work hard. I'm not trying to show anybody up or do something spectacular for attention.
It's frustrating. I feel like as well as we've gone I could have helped and still could from here on out.
