The way Randy Johnson pitched his last time out was a good sign for New York. I've got to give the Yankees the edge in the wild card, Boston is better suited to win the division.
They got in there and kind of loosened it up. I feel like it's kind of over and done with.
They had some good ideas to start the whole thing, so we had to come back with something. I think we've put an end to it.
That stops the big inning right there. It kept a guy at first and allowed us to stay in striking distance against Santana.
I wasn't sharp. Physically, I felt good. I need to work on keeping the ball down.
In May, the sixth and seventh inning comes and you are familiar with it. You don't feel tired. It makes a big difference.
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.
I had a little bit (of tightness) going into the first start. It was okay. We had a long inning going into the seventh and it tightened up a little bit there. But it wasn't bad. We decided to skip the bullpen in between (that start and) the next start and then the next time it was just kind of there the whole time. It never seemed to go away and loosen up.
In the off-season J.P. talked with me about what the organization wanted to do and it's come full circle. J.P. was very honest and very truthful and they exceeded a lot of our expectations of getting guys that we got. I think I would have been interested no matter what but to have a true chance of winning, it makes it a lot better.
Hopefully it's something that we have a chance to get used to in the future. It's fun and hopefully that's something that will continue this year and we can get that excitement in here for the long term.
He threw well. I think it's a relief for him and obviously for guys here to see him out there and coming back.
I don't think we accomplished what we set out to do this year,
For now, my biggest emphasis was on location, making sure they were quality pitches.
I tried to field it. Fortunately, Russ made a great play. I was just trying to get an out.
